Foot pads for ROO

We have a 23RS and I was looking to install foot pads. I had some on my PUP and loved them so I'd like some for my ROO, less wood to bring. I see some on Amazon, BAL R.V. Group 23200 Foot Pads. Would anybody here have these? Would they fit?
Thanks.
Andre

my 2007 Roo 23SS came with these exact pads, standard.
do newer Roos/Shamrocks no longer have them?
what do they have now? scissor jacks or something else?

though i still use wood, because not all sites are level.

The scissor jacks don't come with pads. Not usually. But they are used to stabilize, not to level.

Strange my 2014 Shamrock, 21SSL, came with the foot pads. I also use 6X8 wood blocks to shorten the travel, & screwed some screen door handles on them for easy maneuvering.

i know that they are stabilizers, not levelers. but you still will need wood or Lynx-type of pads, to build up on unlevel campsites.

My trailer is in storage for the winter but I just went to see it. It does have pads. I'm not sure why I thought it didn't. I thought they were smaller than that but they are about 6x8. I wish they were bigger and I didn't have to bring wood. Maybe I could go to a machine shop and get some metal pads cut and I could bolt them on. I just bought some Anderson levelers from Amazon. Can wait to try them.

This is what I did to my 6 pads and for some others. Not having to store them is a BIG plus for this lazy old man.

After the issues we had last year I don't mind the wood and yellow plastic leveling blocks works every time now and fits in a milk crate so prefer not hard mounting them
