blocking up my parts van

[Previologist]

my parts van is slowly descending into the earth, and I'd like to keep it above. Concrete blocks aren't really suitable for long term support, IMO, but I'm not sure what better options there are. Maybe RR ties? Ideally I would keep it high enough that the tires don't deflate completely and separate from the rim, because there are times when I may want to move it. Any proven ideas? The ground is a bit soft where I have it because its on the north side of my house and it doesn't dry out completely. But there is no appropriate place that's dryer. August will probably be the last chance I have to jack it up with dry-ish earth, if it isn't too late to get a jack under it already.

I'm liking the RR tie idea that I just had while typing this, but will post it anyway in case someone can do better. I can probably scrape up a RR tie on my property.

Maybe see if there are any stone suppliers or contractors around with inexpensive/free stone remnants you could embed in the ground to -at a minimum - create four less-sinkable "pads" under where the the tires will go. I have parked mine up on some doubled-up old landscape timbers (2 adjacent for each side, railroad-track-style) but only to get it out of the way for a week or two, and no way would I get anywhere under that

No no, I won't be crawling under it most likely. If I had the frame securely seated on RR ties at all 4 corners maybe, but the whole idea is to keep the tires inflatable so I can move it to the paved driveway if needed. We don't want any hold my beer moments
