Wheel skids

I am a recent owner of a 2009 Georgetown 350 TS and am having trouble backing into my driveway. I guess you can say she has a big butt! I can get into my driveway by setting up wood blocks to drive over, but it is a lot of work and getting kind of old. I was going to make some ramps but also heard about wheel skids. Does anybody have them and if so, can you give me any info. Thanks,

I have a 2013 350ts and I was told that wheel skids would void several warrany items since it puts to much stress on the back of the chassis frame. I had the same problem and found it was resolved when I installed a set of air-lift helpers springs. I just crank up the pressure in the rear air bags and it lifts the coach the couple of inches I needed. Before that I was using wood blocks as you were.

I was told airbags as well to lift up the rear end, but have recently installed sumo springs on all four corners. I guess I can make up some one piece ramps on each side verse putting 10-15 blocks on each side. I will keep researching. Thanks for the input.
