Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
Moviing to a grass only rv park tommarrow. My rig weighs 23k, and the hydralic leveling pads seem small , next to the King air parked next to me right now..
Should I put something under the leveling pad? Or is it good enough ?
Need to get it today, if I'm getting it.
Thanks!

You can do the orange lego block things, a 10x10 square of plywood, or 2x8,10,12- cut to your length.
I use pieces of 3/4 pressure treated plywood that are 12x12.

Has anyone tried using Snap Pads. Wondering if you can use in place of blocks under jacks Have just heard about and sound simple to use. Thanks for any information.

X2^^ on the pressure treated plywood in 3/4" 12x12 squares. If I use legos, I put them on top of the plywood, too.

Have snap pads. Work as designed but the major problem is that they fill up with road dirt, gravel snow etc. I think that the constant moisture will soon rust out the metal pad at the end of the rams. About twice a year I crawl under the rv and try and spoon out the gravel and crap....its always really wet in there. Crawling under the rv really defeats the purpose of snap pads.

I have to disagree. We have snap pads for our Bigfoot levelers. We do use them in place of wood or plastic. They have holes in them so any water will drain out and we find it very easy to wipe off any dirt or gravel that might accumulate. We definitely would recommend them.

I stand by my comment. Perhaps because mine are on a motorhome where the jacks are further inboard than a 5er, they fill up with debris.
