Can a Bent Landing Gear Foot Pad Be Used With a SnapPad?

Question

Question:

Hello, I am looking at purchasing a set of snap pads for my 2013 forest river Georgetown class A motor home. One of my pads is bent I bought motor home used and was already bent. Will the snap pads still work if one is bent or will the pad have to be replaced for a secure fit? Thank you for your time and help.

The feet on your motorhome's landing gear should not be bent at all, and for a SnapPad like the SnapPad XTRA Jack Pads for Lippert Leveling Systems w/ 9" Round Jack Feet # SP54FR4 you're looking to fit, it's going to need to be replaced.

For instance, if you had a Lippert Landing Gear and needed a replacement 9" foot to work with the SnapPads mentioned above, you'd need the Lippert 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear Foot Pad # LC314667.

Personally I prefer the SnapPad XTRA Jack Pads #SP54FR4 over the Stromberg Carlson #SC99MR as they have been around much longer and proven themselves to be a quality product. Both these will fit 4 jacks with a 9" round landing pad.
