Question:

I ordered the correct part for my rv. Put them on and my husband could remove they easily. Not sure if these are really any good. Or someone sent me the wrong ones.

I spoke with the manufacturer and they stated that there's a couple of factors that could cause the SnapPad Jack Pads for Class A and C Motorhomes w/ 8" Round and 10" Round Jack Feet Item # SP34FR64 to seem like they aren't securely on your landing feet.

There could be damage to the landing feet that prevents them from getting a perfect grip in the snap pad lip.

The 8" snap pads have less of a lip on them and have a wider gap to accommodate the spring.

The manufacturer has stated that when you retract your landing gear to pull your trailer that it will cause the pads to tighten up and that they have not had anyone lose one except in cases where the landing feet and pads were hit by road debris.

The Pads come with a two year warranty from the manufacturer and in the event that you do lose a pad in that time period they will replace it for you.

There's a 2" difference between the pad sizes so if you were sent ones that were too big it would be a a noticeable difference.
