Can SnapPads Be Used On Gravel/Rocky Campsite Surfaces

Published 09/20/2023

Question:

How well do these pads hold up on gravel/rocky surfaces? Many campsites I use are not paved, and I would think that gravel/rocks would puncture and/or tear the pads.

SnapPad's like part # SP54FR6 are tough enough to handle the gravel/rocky surfaces you'll encounter at the campsite. The rubber base will help grip and cushion the jack foot against the uneven and shifting rocky surface. I bought some for my dad's fifth wheel two years ago since he camps a majority of the summer and we've had no issues with them. If you haven't measured your jack feet then I highly recommend checking the diameter and shape of each foot since some leveling systems will use different sizes in the front compared to the rear.
