New to RV life. I'm moving from a brand new park with level concrete pads to a gravel lot.

32ft imagine, 2 slide outs

What do you recommend for leveling on gravel? What type of blocks would be recommended? What about for the tires? Any tips or tricks are greatly appreciated. Trying to reduce movement as much as possible.
 
Nothing really changes from concrete to gravel

Just make sure it is level side to side

I prefer to dig down the high side if possible with a small shovel and let the tires roll into that trench to get the trailer level side to side
If not you will have to drive the low side onto blocks
 
No difference, other than you may find you have to retighten the stabilizers occasionally. That could be due to the pads sinking or settling into the ground which doesn't happen when on concrete. It could also be due to the scissor jack (stabilizers) "screws" unwinding a bit as you move around inside. If you find that is happening regularly and do not want to retighten them every so many days, you can buy "locks" to hold them in place. We always use them and find they help a lot, but I also keep mine lubricated so they turn very eazily.
