Hi Guys have a tip for you and maybe can pass on to your other subscribers. I have had my Snap Pads on for almost a year now and noticing that the jack feet are rusted due to water sitting on top. So my leveling jack have 8 hole in each jack pad. So I sanded the rust area and repainted the foot. And I drilled those 8 existing hole through the snap pads to allow water to drain. Now no more rusty pads. Plus I always use at least 1 Lego block under each Snap Pad so rocks and debris doesn’t get stuck in the snap pads and scrap them up. Hope this helps. Thanks
Hey Jim! Thanks for the comment. I had the same issue with my 2013 Big Country. The feet were already rusting and then the snap pads I think holding the water definitely added to the rust. Now with my new Montana I put them on pretty much before they even touched any pavement lol so hopefully I don’t run into any issues but I do think drilling a hole through them for drainage is a great idea. And I always wondered why people had snap pads but then put the blocks under them as well.
I have had the snap pads ever since my Flagstaff was new last summer. I like the stability on all types of terrain, especially if the ground is soft . great product. If any mud gets on them ,I just get out the hose . Love that Montana paint Job Chris !!
Thank you much. I love them for the various harvest hosts locations… gravel, grass, hard dirt, pavement, you never know
I wish people would compare at least 2 of these items or make a pro and con video so we can make informed choices.
I can assure you there is no conflict of interest. I purchase snap pads for every rv I’ve had immediately, at full price and with my personal money. There’s seriously no comparison to anything else on the market. You can look through my channel and see I don’t do anything sponsored. I even posted a video on getting rid of the battle born batteries that came with my rv to switch to something more practical and just overall better for my use.
@@WhyNotRV thank you for your reply. Since you said you purchased these pads and did not get them for free. I have eddited my comment to be more light. I will share with you that there are a few different option including one that you screw into instead of this rubber pad that can fall off and bend. Plus there is another option called anderson block that does a similar job.
I appreciate that. The Anderson blocks are just plain bulky and take up space. I know some people that have used them and they have broken, they don’t do well on uneven surfaces, however, I do have the Anderson leveling wedges and carry the Anderson tire change wedge and have eluded that before. Love it for those. But the snap pads just snap on and stay on. Never lost one in 5 years of RVing and using them on 4 different RVs. I think they really shine in those weird spots when you have uneven ground or large gravel chunks and they just do there job perfectly
I need to look into these for our Class C Forest River Forester.
They’re one of my all time favorite and most used upgrades EVER!
Chris I got mind put on.
Easy right? And now you don’t have to use those big Anderson blocks
I use one or two Lego blocks under snap pad so the holes I drilled through the snap pads will allow water to drain. If I didn’t water would not drain properly.
Good to hear. I also believe if the oe landing feet are sealed properly with fresh paint they won’t hav issue
@@WhyNotRV the problem isn’t the bottom of the pad rusting. It’s the top as water can’t drain and sits there. With the hole’s allows it to drain
Ya I absolutely agree that adding the holes only helps.
Do I measure the original pad on our MH and does this number then correlates to what I need to order?
Yes. Or you can go to RVsnappad.com and they have a search feature for make and model.
I would love to install these but the owners manual for our 2011 Jayco Greyhawk says to not attach anything to the jacks
I’ve never heard of these affecting a warranty or anything in a negative manner
It was easy but not super easy to install. I had to put a Lego under each one and pry up around all the edges.
Did you dish soap it up? I will say on my new airstream I had a more difficult time but I believe that’s due to the landing feet not being nearly as heavy duty as the fifth wheel ones.
Hi there! I enjoy your channel which is very helpful…thank you!! Curious about the size of snap pad (9in?) to order for my Riverstone Legacy 419RD. It looks like the same one you have in the video but could you confirm? We’re picking up our new rig in a couple of weeks and they’re telling me to order 9in? Sound right to you? Blessings and thanks again!!
That sounds right yes. But safest thing is to measure the pads on your new rig to know for sure.
What is EMS?
Best thing to do is check out my video on the difference between a surge protector and EMS.
