Here's another alternative. Will cost you $100 more and wouldn't be non-slip though.

no problems. You will have to ask Greg and his crew at the factory how they did it, but it can be done.

What is your clearance under that pad? I measured mine today (no pads yet) and I only have barely 6" and if I put the pads on that'll only be 5", seems to close to the road?

We have some 2x10 cut into squares. Also some 1/2" plywood cut same size.
I like to try to be really level. And I have the opinion that the shorter the landing gear legs (on the 5th wheel) the more stable it is. So I carry a bunch of these wooden blocks.

Can I buy jack pads at like a Camping World? I had 8x8 blocks with handles on them that I made but I gave them to a friend who is buying their first toy hauler.
Not sure if they enforce the rules but the resort says you have to use jack pads. Now I don't have any and if I'm going to buy some, I'll like to buy the ones ya'll are talking about.

Snap Pads is a product that many on FROG are using.

Mark,
Let me know if you can’t get anything. I just cut some 10 x 2 squares for mine. I can bring 4 for you if needed. Let me know by Wednesday and I’ll bring them. We arrive Thursday night.

I've been to a resort like this that has a long list of rules, they very well may approach you and demand you use them. Something. They've obviously spent alot of money on concrete pads in this place. We actually had a large truck mud flap that we cut into 4 pieces that we sometimes put under the jacks. Thats what we'll use there especially if we don't need to level much.
And to the person who said his wife knows if its off a half inch? I feel your pain. My husband is obsessed with the coach being EXACTLY level, runs around with his damn level and plans on resetting the null AGAIN on Anchor Downs nice flat cement. UGH!!!!

That's funny... I park it and as long as it's close and I'm not walking sideways, I don't care. The only time I find it annoying is if it's leaning towards the passenger side and I'm sleeping with my head lower than my feet..lol. Other than that, it would have to be pretty far off to even worry about it.

I like the price of mine better, the price of 48 (3/16") pop rivets and some alum deck plate.

I believe Anchors Down will check. When I called yesterday to change my arrival they asked if I had pads, said they didn’t want steel on the concrete. I assume due to rust stains.

Looks like 10" for Dynamax. But I measured mine before buying. Mine are 9 inch. I bought mine last year but 9" is no longer available from Amazon.

Check at RVSnapPads website. They also have a Military discount.
https://rvsnappad.com/
I bought mine from Amazon for free shipping to Alaska. I would buy them again if I ever buy a new rig. I have a concrete driveway.
