As anyone used them? Look like a good idea. I ordered 4 but they cant seem to get them shipped to me. If u do have them did u have a problem getting them?

We have them on our 2012 Montana that has the 6 point levelup system. They work good, and bought them direct from the Snap pad site and they were shipped promptly to where we were. https://rvsnappad.com/

I have a set on our Raptor. Most of our camping is in grassy lots at races or rallys so I still use a 2x12 on the ground for all 6 jacks. On hard packed or camp spots as long as the ground is pretty level I think they would work great. We purchased ours at an RV store so didn't have to have them shipped.

What do they REALLY help with? We full time for now and are on a paved spot. We moved for the hurricane last year and came back to same spot. I noticed, since I adjusted the RV spot a little, that the landing pads on our 6-pt level-up had made impressions in the asphalt from the metal pads getting hot in it. Think these pads over time would isolate the results of the pad making a permanent impression in the asphalt, or they would melt in and get stuck?

I can answer a couple of those questions, They do provide a larger surface area, about 11.5" and they also are about 1.5" thick so they help that much for keeping your jacks from coming out as far. As for if they will melt and or stick to asphalt over a period of time, not sure.

Thanks Tinner12002!

I may try them out if they help isolate vibrations of movement.

I have them on my 2017 Alpine. They seem to grip the asphalt as oppose to the steel pads resting bare .

They will not melt on hot asphalt. We've been in the central valley of California, and also in the desert, on dirt and asphalt. We have also been to parks that have asphalt sites and require large pads under jacks and stabilizers, and when questioned, the Snap pads don't need extra pads under the jacks. They do provide a larger footprint, and on softer sites, I find they don't sink in like just the metal pads did without the Snap pads. Prior to purchasing ours, I emailed Snap pad a few years ago about the durability of the pads along with how contact with oil would affect them, and this was the answer I received:

Great question - The pads are produced with recycled tire crumb, high strength resin and over 100 tons of pressure. That combination makes the pads a lot stiffer and more resilient than you would expect from recycled rubber alone. Although we have yet to test the pads for oil resistance over time, we are confident they will stand up to the presence of oil. In addition to this we had the pads tested and it takes 1,300 lbs of vertical force to install. Once they're on that's where they'll stay.

To back that up we offer a 2 year warranty, so if you do have any degrading or other issues send them back and we'll replace them free of charge. Why not try them and see how they react?

Other benefits:

Adds stability to your rig.

Distributes the weight over a larger area.

Protects your metal jack foot from damage.

Looks good installed.

Like most accessories you can get by without it, just a matter of if you'd like to add something brand new and if it fits your style.

Appreciate the question, if you have any others feel free to contact me directly.

Well after a few emails they now say they are shipped. They say that they are backed up with orders with the high demand. I guess other people want to try them also. I will give a review after i use them for awhile.

They may be the greatest thing in the rv market, I don't know, don't have them. For that kind of money they charge for 6 of them I can buy a LOT of lumber.

willy3805 · 05-31-2018, 04:48 AM

Lol if u are worried about money cant believe u bought a rv. = money pits.

Have you ever had an issue with a pad scraping the ground? My left rear level up jack pad scraped the road when I pulled onto the road out of a CG in VA. No damage was done but I wonder if a snap pad may have not allowed the metal to slide on the road. The CG exit was uphill onto a flat narrow road.

Got mine from Amazon, no problem getting them. 2017 Montana 6 pt level-up. Highly recommend for added width and height and works great on asphalt in hot weather.

We have a set on the 6 pt levelers on our 2016 Fuzion and I love the fact we don't have to carry extra wide blocks or take the time to precisely set the wooden blocks down. The problem I've had with blocks were if we stay a long time in one spot and they might sink into the ground, even just an inch, I had trouble getting them out. The pads were a huge improvement and I don't have to worry about prying them out!

infantryofficer81 · 06-06-2018, 05:33 PM

We have them on our 2016 Fuzion 420 also. The only issue I had was self inflicted! I turned too quickly in the storage lot and caught the jack in front of the tire (passenger side) on the gravel incline and ripped the pad off! There was no damage to the jack, luckily! The lip on the pad ripped, and it wouldn't stay on, so I just ordered 2 more. Replaced the damaged one and now I have a spare. I do think they make a heck of a difference when parking on a concrete pad. It seems there's much more stability with the rubber making contact with the concrete instead of the steel pad, but that's just my opinion.

No issues as of yet.
