Yet another knock on effect of the new van is that my old wooden
ramps are a touch narrow for the fatter tyres.
I am thinking of getting some of the proprietary plastic ramps,
especially if I can get a good price whilst at the NEC.
How good are they? Any problems with grip, flexing, sinking?
Should I fashion a new set from dependable chunks of timber?
How about corner steadies - are the stacking pads any good? What
is best for dealing with big slopes?
I've always thought the permanently attached jack pads must be
very vulnerable, as if anything is going to ground in transit, it
will be the steadies. Am I wrong?

I'd definitely prefer wood to plastic, which we all know weakens with a
few years aging.
Although I have two metal ramps, I keep a number wood plank and post
lengths ends in my garage for safety supports when I jack.
