    When you've fitted your self-levelling, you'll still require some blocks to prevent the jacks from sinking into sand or any ground that's a bit squidgy, even with the larger E&P discs. We currently use sections of 8"x2" roofing timber blocks however, we're on the look-out for something a lot lighter and easier to maintain, and with a larger footprint to displace the weight. If you find anything suitable, then please add a link.

    We have had our E&P system since March and have used them a lot including on grass and sand with no sinkage issues. We may have been lucky. We have a PVC so limited room therefore we try to make sure things have more than one use. That makes me think of maybe having a couple of large plastic cutting boards ready to use - just in case? However, my guess is that if the discs start to sink then we would probably have difficulty moving the van in any case as we have road-orientated tyres so we would be careful where we parked ;-)

    @@briansussex We had a situation once when we parked on a rather steep field and stacked quite a few sections of timber under the jacks. When it came to move we discovered that the rear N/S jack wasn't able to provide clearance from the timber, so we were unable to move. To resolve the issue I placed a section of wood under the tyre, to give us more clearance. Our problem was solved, but I did get concerned momentarily.
