Thanks for the info but I think I will pass.

That's $69.99 each PLUS $30 shipping. Order 4 it comes to $279.96 plus $45 shipping. YIKES!

I'm very happy with the Snap Pads. And have my own home made wooden pads too.

We have snap pads on a 50k pound class A and they are great. They help stop from sinking in on sandy surfaces. They hold up well. I would order a set first think if we moved to a new coach.

2 x 12s, 2-feet long. Eye screw in the ends and a short piece of Nylon rope to pull them out. Simple and cheap. I’ve used this set for 6 years now with zero problems.

Go to home Depot and pickup some rubber stair treads.
I believe they are 10in by 4 ft and 1 1/4 inch thick.
I just picked them up and will cut them to size.

I tried the plastic stacking ones and find they collect a lot of dirt and crap that goes into the storage compartments.

Advantages
Nothing can stick very hard
Cut to fit
Can be used under jacks and tires. won't slip when stacked.

I got tired of wood had to keep replacing.

One downside they are a bit on the heavy side but not a real concern unless your at your GVW limit.

Nothing to carry, lug around or build up. Placed the Snap Pads two years ago and never looked back. Have gone down on all kinds of surfaces, wet and dry and no problem. Don’t give them a second thought and provide me with peace of mind and ease when pulling in or out, rain or shine.

Scuze me, but I stand corrected and would like to revise and extend my remark.....

$69.99 PLUS $30 shipping = $100 per

This is what I have. Even someone like me can make them easily.[emoji23]

Just when I thought the price was insane....I saw the weight of just 4 of them....92 lbs....[emoji23]

My owners manual suggested screwing and glueing 2, 3/4 x 14" pieces of plywood together. I made 3 seven years ago and they are still working well. However, I am getting tired of placing and removing them at each campground.

If you like the ABS stackables use them. Their light easy to carry and you'll likely send them to China before they crush. I only use them if I'm on really out of level sites or the ground os soft.

If you go to their website, there is a video for installation and demonstration. Love mine. Many campgrounds require something under the jacks and these don't get waterlogged like wood.

I cut up a 4x4 barn mat into 12"squares. It's about 3/4" thick and waterproof. I also cut 2x12 deck boards to 12". I put the rubber mat down, then the board. They don't shoot in the water!

I got tired of crawling around under the coach trying to get the correct positioning. My knees aren't what they used to be. My SnapPads are quicker and easier, especially on the knees in the rain.[emoji591]🤠

I have the snap pads. I like them ok. If I am on soft ground I use pads made out of UHMW. I have never had a issue.
