I don’t use anything under my hitch jack. When I first started I use to build a base using the Camco blocks. More then once I had the jack base shift on those blocks and it freaked me out. Likely it was my fault, but putting the jack right on the ground gives me one less thing to worry about even if it does lead to slightly less stability. I do use the SnapPads and I really like them.

[@WhyWait]

Good deal. Appreciate your insight and comment 👍🏼 Always like hearing what everybody prefers.

Thats pretty cool RV SnapPads made a pad for the Anderson blocks. Although we don't have a fifth-wheel or trailer, I can totally understand why you would want to use the Andersen blocks. It makes sense. We love our SnapPads and it was 1 of the first things we bought for our Class A's. Great info and thanks for sharing!

[@WhyWait]

Hey guys 👋🏼 Yeah it was something I didn’t know they had and something that will definitely help with the occasional Andersen crack I think.

[@vernonsculthorpe5188]

Concerning the Anderson Buckets, I've been using them to illiminate the distance the stabilizers had to extend. However, in one instance, I backed into a Concrete pad that was lower in elevation than the front and ran into a problem. The problem was since I used the buckets in the front of my 5th wheel only, when I used auto level, the front could not dip down enough to level up with the back. So it tripped a breaker (to the hydraulic motor). Once I discovered what had happened to my power and reset the breaker, I had to put the tongue back on my truck so I could remove the buckets. Once that was done, it leveled up just fine. I use both the buckets and the snap pads and find that they are great. However, I think before using the buckets on the front to stabilizers, check to see how different the elevation s are from front to back.

[@WhyWait]

Tons of times when I use the buckets in the front legs I don’t auto level unless I know the front end is higher than the back. The front end has to dip lower than the back for auto level to work. So sometime on over nights I’ll leave them off. At a long term sight if it looks like the buckets will cause it to not auto level I’ll just manual level from the touch screen inside. Thanks for watching!!

Good point about lots of travel days vs more staying put for storage and setup/teardown times.

[@WhyWait]

Yeah just depends on what may suit your traveling style more. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

What I really want is a normal snap pad that fits into an Anderson bucket. I don’t always want to use the buckets but do want to always have the snap pad on I like these, but having to line all 6 up every time seems like it would be annoying

[@WhyWait]

Yes that would be pretty cool. We use a combination of everything and it depends on the spot, ground type and length of stay. We have snap pads on our front jacks, and those work on top of the Andersen buckets nicely. We then use the RV Snappad base only on extended stays where we will be in a spot for a month or longer. It’s kind of just a combination of everything depending on the situation for us. Thanks for watching.

Do they "snap" onto the buckets? If not, why not? I will definitely be checking these out and appreciate the heads up on them. Lots of gravel when setting up and concerned about our footing on the Anderson buckets.

[@WhyWait]

No they don’t snap onto the buckets…why? I don’t know I didn’t invent them lol My guess is if they did it snap on they would be too hard to get back off and then you couldn’t store/stack the buckets conveniently. Apparently you watching 👍🏼

[@curtisehlman7231]

Picked up on what do for a living right at the beginning of the video I’m a river boat captain

[@WhyWait]

Yes sir. Doing ship work on tractor tugs here in NY 👍🏼

[@AlainBouchard-d4z]

Did you consider another option to have Snap Pads permanent and use Stomberg Carlson Base Pad Extreme buckets that can be utilized with Snap Pads already installed?

[@WhyWait]

That would be cool. I have found out that the RV Snappads also come down on top of the Andersen Blocks no problem at all too. I would look into other systems but we inherited the Andersen Blocks 4 years ago when we bought the RV and being lifetime warranty they work for us. Thanks for the tip and appreciate you watching 👍🏼

[@crissychristensen1211]

Just for clarification... the Snap Pads attatch "permanently" to the foot of each leveling jack, but the Snap Pad RV base only rests under the Anderson block, correct?

[@WhyWait]

Yes that is correct. I’m pretty sure they didn’t want them attaching to the Andersen blocks permanently because then you couldn’t stack them conveniently for storage. A little more hassle setting up but for us not exactly moving every few days we like them. Thanks for watching.

[@rvfamilylife]

You taught me something today. That is awesome. I love my buckets. But I think this is a great addition to those. Now I just need to ask the wife's permission to buy these.

[@WhyWait]

Haha right! We love the buckets too and think the RV Base for them is pretty cool.

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

The Andersen Blocks make more sense to me than the Snap Pads because of the height BUT our coach is 22,500 DRY and I'm afraid they just would not hold up under our weight. And because we more often than not use some sort of block anyway that gives us height and a wider footprint the Snap Pads make no sense to me at all. But thanks for sharing, always love seeing new stuff.

[@WhyWait]

Right on Dave! Your RV is so heavy it can’t shake anyways 😂

[@manuelguzmanjr6622]

Awesome! Thanks for the video!

[@WhyWait]

Thanks for watching! Hope it helped out a bit. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@keithdouglass]

Doesn’t look like SnapPad had the RV base available on their website yet

[@WhyWait]

Its on there, It’s under accessories 👍🏼Here’s a link too! rvsnappad.com/products/the-base

[@zoodad-psd8972]

Well crap !! Thanks for the link

[@RealLifewithAdrianRuth]

We definitely need to get some snap pads !

[@WhyWait]

Save 10% with WHYWAIT haha Hope to see you guys soon!

[@timf6916]

Nice, didn’t know.

[@WhyWait]

Yeah neither did I. Pretty cool product since I’ve had the Andersens crack before.

[@destinationdero]

Nice share. Have a great day

[@WhyWait]

Thank you. Appreciate you watching

[@sreimert]

Why not just use 4x4 and plywood to make jacking blocks? Use pressure treated wood and coat with water seal and you're done for like $50. You could even splurge for some handles to attach to the side to make them easier to . . . handle.

[@WhyWait]

Because these came with my RV from the previous owners, I like the magnetic feature and Andersen replaces them for free with a lifetime warranty. 👍🏼

[@sreimert]

@@WhyWait Well, if nothing else, they’d be a lot lighter. And a lifetime guarantee is pretty compelling.

[@WhyWait]

@@sreimert yeah, if I didn’t already have them a good chance I’d go your route 👍🏼
