Hi, Matt with etrailer. If you're trying to get a little bit more stability out of your camper for your jacks, then I recommend checking out the SnapPad SnapJack SJ Scissor Jack Pads. Now today we are gonna be putting this on our 2016 Dutchmen Kodiak, but this will fit on any RV camper, and it's really just gonna depend on what type of jacks you have. So let's check it out. Now this is gonna come in a set of four. We're gonna have two for our front side and two for our back side. But they're all gonna install exactly the same. And some situations you might find yourself needing something like this for is mostly if you're in some more uneven terrain areas or slippery terrain areas. So uneven terrain areas would be maybe on a slope or maybe you're on some gravel or grass. Some things that aren't gonna be like concrete that are gonna give you that really nice stable surface. And what's really nice about these is since we do have that rubber construction for the outside, it's gonna prevent you from slipping all over the place. There's gonna be also some other benefits of having this rubber material around our pad. Because the pad itself is made out of steel, and so it's gonna be very strong, very durable, it's gonna last you a long time. But this rubber's gonna help it even last longer 'cause what's gonna happen is once you're using this, and let's say maybe you're not going out to the campsite a lot, or if you are, it does have some concrete or some type of pavement on the ground. If you have this metal pad that's constantly making contact with that ground, it's gonna eventually start to wear away, especially on that powder coat finish you have. And then once that finish starts to fade out, it's gonna be more prone to rusting. Something else I do like about that rubber, it's also gonna help protect the ground. So if you are parking this at home, and you like to make sure your driveway looks pretty clean, well if you just have a metal pad on the ground making contact, it's probably gonna scratch up that surface. This is going to help reduce that and not scratch anything up. Now in my opinion, I think this is gonna be a great option, especially compared to what comes stock on your vehicle because that's gonna be a lot more surface area, and it's gonna give you overall a better parking experience. Now in my opinion, for the actual installation part of it, that can vary. It's gonna mainly depend on the status of your jack. Now the ones we have today are gonna be some older ones that have seen a lot of journeys. And installing was a little bit tricky on one side more than the other. You might have to go about a couple different approaches, and I do talk about those approaches in the video. But if you are curious to see what that process looks like, just stay tuned, and we'll walk you through it. To begin installation, I'm gonna lay everything out. And we're gonna have two different types of hardware. One's gonna be for your 5,000 pound, another one's gonna be for your 2,500 pound jack. So depending on which one you have, you'll be able to tell, but I'll go a little bit over that later on. But up front, we're gonna have the SnapPads themselves, their hardware, and I'm gonna recommend grabbing a few things. So I'm gonna recommend grabbing a rubber mallet just to tap those bolts loose if need be and some masking tape to help keep the jack together once you remove its original foot. Now we are gonna have some other tools, some wrenches and some socket wrenches, but I'll talk about the sizes once we get a little bit more in depth with this. The first thing I recommend doing is just chalking your camper just to be safe. Then after that, just lower your jack to about where it's the same height with this SnapPad. You just wanna roughly line up those holes. If it's a little bit too high, too low, that's fine, you can adjust later on. Next we want to figure out if we have the 5,000 or 2,500 pound jack. And if you don't know right off the bat, you can also just check your hardware. If your hardware's a little bit larger, then you're gonna be using a 5/8 and 11/16 tools. Now if your hardware's a little bit smaller, that's gonna be for the 2,500 pound jack, and you're gonna be using a 1/2 inch socket and wrenc
