    Snap Pads.

    Stop by where we store our 5er and notice several in the lot had pads mounted on the leveling system pads. Has anyone used them and are they worth the money? Here is link to them and what they are saying the benefits are:

    I couldn't see very much advantage. I put rubber pavers under all my jack pads. Helps keep them out of mud, and stops snapping noise when parked on pavement

    That's what I do now but the last Good Sams rally they park us on grass and rain for two days and my 12X18 yellow pads sunk complete down into the mud. I had to dig them out then wash off before I could put in the basement. These stay attached so that would be plus. I see cost as the biggest negative.

    I have them and really like them. I do think they are a little pricey, but they work as advertised. No longer have to use boards or blocks under each jack. Been camped on some pretty soft ground and they didn't sink in very much, plus never have to dig them out of the mud.

    I see there is two different models now, one with slit that allows water to drain and one with out. Do you have any problem with water not draining out of yours?

    Nope. I suppose the water would drain faster out of the new ones. There is about a 1 inch hole right in the middle of the battom. Water eventually finds its way out.

    I have them and like them. I have lots of pads but in most circumstances I no longer have to crawl around to put them down. I don't have the self draining ones and there was some water in them after our torrential rain...I suspect it won't last long in there.

    WORTH IT ! Great quality, from a very excellent company. The convenience is worth every penny. I certainly do not miss digging my blocks out of the dirt, cleaning them and saves storage space. Nor do I miss fooling around placing blocks under my levelers. I also think the larger footprint is a real plus. The excellent company part is if you email them the response is quick and exact. The product is innovative and outstanding quality.
