I do not make the blocks of wood. My Nephew is a contractor and there are time he builds timber frame homes and that is where I get the large blocks of wood, either cypress or pine. These pieces of wood or logs one might call them are solid and I cut them to length with a chain saw. I would think that a 12X12 piece on end would hold as much as a 20 ton jack. Older homes have used these as piers. I live in an 1899 home and it has 12x12 beams resting on brick piers and it weights a whole lot more that my MH. Any way I also use a 20 ton jack at the frame behind the front stabilizer. I would not feel safe about using the jack alone.
I have a leak in the front right air bag and really did not know whether it was the 6 pack or somewhere else. Steve Bare encourage me to put together an air leak isolator. I do know that Tom and Richard and others have made one. I would encourage anyone that is looking for leaks to build one. After attaching this to the air pressure line coming into the 6 pack and attaching the other end to the 6 pack, then cutting off one side from the other and waiting 24 hours, I found that my leak was not the 6 pack but elsewhere. When I did find it, it was in the worst possible place to get to.
It was leaking where the 3/8" hose attaches to the cross member tank. I need to have arms 3' longer or need to be the size of a cat. I am still in the process of figuring out how to go about this repair.
I forgot to post a photo of the Isolator.
