Having recently ordered a larger size of these pads for the larger motorhome I thought I would offer my review of having used these for some time in the 12" size for both the Essex and the Vectra.

Here is a representative picture of the 12,15 and 18" size.



HERE is their website....While a bit on the pricey side,they carry a LIFETIME WARRANTY against breakage...
With the rope handle they're very easy to put in place and pick up and when you purchase a set of four they include a nice storage bag.

Bob,

So does that mean your smaller set is available? I'll pay shipping charges!

The lifetime warranty is great for the DICAs. I purchased a set last summer at a national rally and they are excellent.

Last week at the Super show in Tampa, Albert of Summit industries showed us his version of jack pads along with stainless steel products for the sides of coaches. The Summit pads are less expensive and lighter, however they may break more readily than the DICAs in certain terrain. Albert stated he will warrant their product the same as DICA's.

I have used the Dicar pads for about 2 year. Wanting a little less "throw length" on my front jacks, I screwed one of those stackable yellow plastic leveling blocks to the center of the two pads I use up front. If I want more, it is easy to stack additional yellow blocks on top of the permanent ones.
I don't think you could destroy one of these if you had to.

Let me begin by saying that I work for Summit Products and I would like to add a little information to the discussion if I may.

DICA makes some great 3/4" thick jack pads for RVs made of a material called UHMW. Summit makes jack pads for RV out of both UHMW and a composite material.

The UHMW pads are available in both 3/4" and 1" thick versions. The composite pads are available in 1-1/4" thick material only. We introduced the composite material with the goal being a lower cost and lighter weight option to the UHMW pads. And yes, they are all covered by a lifetime warranty.
