Motorhome Detailed Instructions
Installation time: 3 - 6 minutes per pad
• SnapPad installation is best performed on a level or near level surface – preferably a hard surface
(concrete or asphalt). Wheel chocks can be placed in front of and behind the RV wheels for additional
safety.
• Be sure to thoroughly clean and dry your landing feet prior to installing your SnapPads.
• Spread a small bead of concentrated dish soap around the lip of the SnapPad and metal landing foot to
aid in installation. Do NOT use any petroleum based lubricant, such as WD-40®, as it may negatively
react with the binder in your SnapPads.
• Most motorhomes will release their airbags prior to engaging the jacks. This will lower the entire RV at
the beginning of the leveling process. You may place your first SnapPad prior to this however be careful
to not get caught underneath your RV during the lowering process!
• Typically one side will level first. Take note which side that is and start there. Install one SnapPad at a
time and/or use the manual jack operation if possible. Refer to your owners manual for instructions.
• Most jacks are 18” - 24” under your RV. You might need to use a tool such as a broomstick to align your
SnapPads, if necessary.
• Once aligned, begin lowering your jack. Keep an eye on the landing foot as it extends. Stop extending
when the foot is about 2 to 3 inches from the SnapPad. Double check to make sure it is centered, re-
align if necessary and then continue extending the landing gear to complete installation. KEEP YOUR
FINGERS AND ANY FOREIGN OBJECTS CLEAR WHEN LOWERING THE JACK INTO PLACE.
• You should hear a distinctive “snap” as the lip engages. Visually confirm the lip is fully engaged around
the perimeter of the landing foot.
• If your lip hasn’t fully engaged raise your jack and place a shim (small piece of wood no thicker than 1/4”)
under the side that hasn’t engaged. Lower your jack again until that side snaps into place.
• Wipe o any excess soap and repeat installation process on the remaining jacks.
