A wood platform is about the most useful thing (besides the jack) that I could think of in my experience. I've never been disappointed in the standard jack either, at least on the road when I've needed it, if I had a platform to keep it from punching a hole in the ground. Last time I had the table saw out, I cut some scrap 3/4 plywood to fit nicely in my underseat westy storage. I haven't used it yet for a blowout, but I have used it several times to build a stack to drive one or two wheels up on at campsites to level the camper. I also found a nesting pair of orange poly chocks that get used pretty often. I would like a folding set like Scott was talking about.
