[@aquaserenitychartersl.l.c.5822]

I just got mine today an install them I can’t wait to go camping to try them out

[@rvgearandfar]

How'd the install go?

[@aquaserenitychartersl.l.c.5822]

@@rvgearandfar Pretty easy actually but I didn’t do the tape thing but I should’ve I can definitely tell a difference compared to not having them on and now having them it’s more stable on our 2023 Geo pro G20BHS

We ordered these jack pads. Installed them today. We have the 5000k BAL jacks. The only issue we had was the holes in the BAL arms. Had to put a drill in the holes to open them up a bit, because the hardware wouldn’t go through. But once we took care of that issue, the worked very well.

[@rvgearandfar]

I had heard that might be an issue with certain jacks - glad you got it settled quickly!

Just installed these yesterday. Spacer’s were a bit of a pain, small tube with two end pieces. Used tape to get the end pieces in place then slipped the tube between them. Wish I would have seen this video before yesterday as taping the legs before disassembly would definitely have made the job easier.

[@rvgearandfar]

Ah - well hopefully we'll catch someone else before the disassemble!

Are the orange plastic blocks needed after you mount the snap pads?

[@rvgearandfar]

All depends on how far off the ground the pitch of the RV makes it - but no the orange blocks are not "NEEDED" with or without the snappads

I just installed a set of snap jack pads for my travel trailer, I used Duct tape instead of masking tape which did not hold.

[@rvgearandfar]

I've found with masking tape is that sometimes you need to go all the way around at attach it to itself to achieve the best results.

for $359.00 for 4 snap pads I will stick to my 2x6 blocks

[@rvgearandfar]

👍

Question's: Since scissor jacks aren't meant to be too loaded, as it were. Being rubber, is there much cushion flex? Some of us are content with just using the corner jacks for the rocking stability lol. The seconded thing, do you find that it collects much debris from the road or camped, pine needles and such? I like the idea of it molding to the ground surface :)

[@rvgearandfar]

There is a bit more cushion flex than without the rubber, but its a stiff cushion if that makes sense. Occasionally, we'll get a little debris on the foot - but I got that with just the metal feet too- so in that regard, no there is no increase in how much debris is caught - if anything it'd be less since the top of the foot is now higher off the ground. ◡̈

Unfortunately SnapPad are really bad at letting you know what is compatible, their trailer dropdown isn't accurate for compatibility. While mistakes happen, they have been super difficult at returning brand new product that never got installed because of their website. It clearly needs to be much clearer for newbie RV"s who don't know about different types of jacks.

[@rvgearandfar]

If you could waive a magic wand to fix/prevent the issue- how would you do it?

[@grneal26]

35 inch lbs? I think you meant 35 ft lbs.

[@rvgearandfar]

Nope - 35 in lbs is correct - #15 on this installation sheet: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0994/0310/files/snapjack-uni-general-install_compressed.pdf?v=1691004801
