TIRE SUPPORT
Since motorhomes may sit for long periods it is important to properly support the tires
if blocks are used for leveling.
Extreme caution must be taken to ensure that the tires are fully supported when us-
ing blocks to level motorhomes and/or RV’s. The load on the tire should be evenly
distributed on the block and in the case of duals, evenly distributed on blocks for both
tires. If not property done, the steel cables in the sidewall of the tires may be damaged
and could lead to premature fatigue of the sidewall.
The CORRECT methods are shown in Figure 1. Please note that the blocks are
wider than the tread and longer than the tire’s footprint. This provides maximum
support to the tires and assures that the load is evenly distributed throughout the
tire’s footprint area.
