Have you used the original pads over the years or replaced ever so often?

Yes that is the one. 4 years ago it was around $35, if I remember correctly.

Craig & Glenn,
One of the Mods that is popular with the FR 5er owners is taking 2 pieces of Diamond Plate and sandwiching a leveling block between them, pop riviting the contraption together then bolting that to your landing gear and rear stab jacks.
I wonder if something similar would work as a permanent solution for the Berk? Then you would not have to stow them in the basement (or crawl under to get them )

Should there be punch-through, the piston would not be heading for china if the pad was on dirt.

You'll know when they punch through you'll be looking for the truck that hit you. LOL

Exactly. I have had 1 punch through and it was pretty violent. Rocked the coach so bad it broke the closet doors. Scared the crap out of us! (It was a rocky, uneven surface)
They only replaced that 1 jack pad but the others are still working fine.
If I am on a rock/uneven surface, I put wood down. If it a is flat concrete/asphalt I just use the jacks.
