A multi-tiered system of leveller units for the levelling of recreational vehicles. The leveller units each comprise a planar body, with upper and lower surfaces circumscribed by edges. The body of each unit bears a plurality of pins upwardly extending from spaced locations in the upper surface and has a plurality of pin-engaging pockets formed in the lower surface to matably receive corresponding pins of other similar units. The pins are of slightly smaller size than the corresponding pockets so that when the pins of one unit are associated with the pockets of another, there is provided a loose engagement therebetween. The body may be formed of a discontinuous webbing providing light-weight strength and support to the units to support the large loads placed thereupon.
A wheel supporting leveller unit for recreational vehicles or any other vehicles to engage with other similar units to lift and support a wheel of a recreational vehicle or any other vehicle for lifting and levelling that vehicle, the unit comprising a planar body with upper and lower surfaces circumscribed by edges, pins upwardly extending from spaced locations on the upper surface, and pin-engaging pockets of contours to matably receive corresponding pins of other similar units formed in appropriate locations in the lower surface, the pins being slightly smaller than their corresponding pockets on said other units so as to provide association between the units by means of a loose engagement between certain of the pins of one unit and certain of the recesses of another one or more similar units, said pins having an octahedral shape in transverse cross-section and said body being composed of a discontinuous webbing containing a plurality of apertures extending between said upper and lower surfaces, said webbing providing lightweight strength and support of the units, said webbing being such as to form a plurality of similar triangles having a common central apex within each octahedral pin.
