Does anyone have any experience of using traction boards? I got stuck in soft ground on a site in the Autumn and the more I tried to get out the deeper I went! Had to rely on a caravaner with a 4x4 to pull me out the next day. Would a pair of these been any use to me? If so what type?

A month or so back I had the MH parked with the back wheels on the lawn while some additional block paving was added to the driveway. It hadn't been particularly wet prior to this and after a week it must have sunk about 3" into the ground.

I have 6 board. If somewhere is suspect I park on one each side. When it is time to go I use the others end to end to drive down. If necessary move back to front. It was easier when my wife was alive in that she would correct position if necessary. All part of what I am missing now.
