If you ever are in need of leveling pads, I can give a thumbs up on these. Once in a while I use them under my jacks when I'm on sand. Just this last weekend I had to use them under my front jacks because the beach area I was camped at was sloped to the point the front jacks wouldn't extend far enough to level the rig.

I had to put 4 of the blocks under each front jack. Later I happened to be sitting outside when I noticed that the front end was up so high that the front wheels were 6" off the ground. I felt confident in the blocks and just left it that way.

The jacks and blocks withstood the load just fine. Who would believe that Lego blocks could hold up a motor home. Jacks are pretty awesome too.

I have the Snap Pads installed on my Seneca but I also have a set of heavy-duty jack pads for those situations where they are needed. I have seen other pads deflect badly under the weight of a Seneca, but these will not!

Thank you so much. So you are saying that there have been times that you have had to use both at the same time. Correct?? Also do you leave the snap on’s On the jacks all the time?

Thank you so much! I am kinda of thinking my motor home is too heavy for these. The Senecas are very heavy rigs.

What are the jack pads made of and how thick are they?

The ones I have are 1.5" thick, made of a plastic composite material that is very tough. And yes, I do leave my snap pads on all the time but have only had the Snap Pads for about a year. Prior to that I only had and used the Bigfoot pads.

But this past camping season there were still a couple of sites I used both because of the soft surface. The pads still have more surface area than the Snap Pads.

Agreeing with Robby, we have the snappads and they are great. They are a permanent ,oumt and you actually void the warranty if you try to take them off. We keep our old pads that do deflect and deform some, but there are times when you need that extra large pad if you are on extremely soft ground, friends property or in sand. A friend has taken horse stall pads obtained from Tractor Supply and made 2' x 2' pads and have been considering making a set of them for those extreme soft ground experiences. Also had another friend that thought it was a good idea, not to extend the pad so much in a sand area and set on it for 5 months. He had sunk in the ground enough that he struggled to get out because pads had sunk in and there wasn't enough space for retraction. He now resets pads once a month, no matter where he is set up.

Snapads on mine.
They work great and super easy to install.

If I remember correctly, they do a Veterans discount.

Exactly why I lay out 2 x 10 lumber all the time (unless on paved surface but that is a very rare occurrence).
