thoughts on pads to put under tires outside
#1

my coach has a very small leak between the up solenoid and bag on the drivers side front airbag.  i have changed the bag with no luck.  

it is almost impossible to see up there and i am out of time before we leave for 6 months to fix it.  

it takes about 24-36 hours for it to leak down.  

we are going to be in the same rv park for 6 months.  with the slides out and when i let the air out of the bags, the coach is leaning down on the drivers side.  

about 2 inches on the front and an inch in the back.  the inch in the back i believe is a result of the front going down farther.  

these slides are so heavy it is not surprising to me that it leans that much.  

so my simple plan is to put pads under at least the front drivers tire and perhaps under the rear drivers side tires.  

i have only a week or so to figure out.  i looked at composite outrigger pads and they are quite pricey.  

the park i am staying at is compacted gravel.  

i could cut up 24x24 pieces of 3/4 inch plywood and glue them together,  i could use OSB, i could use 2x12 with a 3/4 plywood on top but i dont want to use screws so they have any chance of getting in the tires.

looking for additional ideas for my makeshift leveling fix.
