I installed Snap Pads shortly after purchasing our RED when I discovered that the jacks were further inboard than my last motorhome necessitating getting on my knees to place boards. They are great and added about 1" more extension to the jacks. They work exactly as advertised, were simple to install, and as an added bonus, they offered military and first responder discounts.

We installed the snap pads on our 37PA as soon as we bought the rig. Well worth the cost. WE have never "sunk" our jacks.

Snap Pads were a great addition to our Open Road 32SA. PRO TIP: when visiting the online store of Snap Pads, put the item you want in the cart and fill out everything - except don’t complete the purchase. They will email you a $10 off code to get you to go back and complete your purchase.

Very happy with my snap pads. Third RV I have installed them on. Protects the foot of the levelers especially on gravel. Keeps me fron having to use a pad. Great on grass or dirt or mud.

Gave serious thought to SnapPads, but ended up going with the 12”x14”x2” Hush Pads. Reasoning was that my Tiffin only has 8” round feet on jacks. SnapPads are slightly bigger than jack feet and would not have a large footprint to spread weight evenly on soft surfaces. The Hush Pads do an excellent job of spreading weight over a larger surface.

We built wooden pads out of pine 2x4s and plywood. We put an eyelet in them to easily pull from under Coach.

We read where some folks had snap pads fall off so we decided to make them ourselves.
