Do you use these whilst Wildcamping or are they only used by site dwellers?

I've got some but I would probably only use them whilst wilding if the angle was desperate and I was pretty sure that I wouldn't be disturbed or moved on. I can put up with a slight angle, but usually just rely on a bit of shifting position around or sticking a few rocks under the tyres.

I've got some. Use them sometimes wild camping. Usually I'm moving on pretty quick so don't bother. My fridge on gas is tolerant of being out of level.

We have some and yes we did use them once 2 years ago ! We normally choose a level spot or shunt about a bit until feels ok ! I use the verge or stones or bits of wood if really stuck so yes to my mind they are for poeoplewho like to have all the kit ! Get a chainsaw then you can cut a wedge or block any size you need ! They are good for firewood too !

I've mainly used mine at home while building the van and once on a French aire at the beginning of the year.If I ever do need to use them wilding ,then would reverse onto them so that a quick getaway could still be made!. I know what your thinking,but mine are only the small yellow wedges and not the massive black milenco ones that site dwellers use . Basil! I like the idea of wooden ones,think that I will make some.

usually I dont bother. if you park on ramps or mats tho it stops your wheels sinking in on boggy ground

Never used them. I aim to park as flat as possible or adjust my bed height with hardback books if I'm sloping the 'wrong' way!

3 or 4 12inch lengths of 5x2 will sort you out in most situations,and they're handy for the jack as well,sometimes for a puncture,sometimes a bit of breadtray etc,and you can leave them behind in a hurry without crying !
