WARNING
Read these instructions completely before beginning installation. It is
critical that you install the correct SnapPad on the proper foot. Please
triple-check prior to installing your SnapPads. Permanent damage could result
from trying to install on the wrong landing foot, resulting in your warranty
being voided. Your PRIME’s are designed to work with 10” round jack feet that
are commonly found on Power Gear™️* or Kwikee Level Best leveling systems. If
you have any questions, contact us at
info@rvsnappad.com or
1-866-923-9538. Failure to follow these
installation instructions can result in property damage, injury, or death.
Origen RV Accessories LTD. is not responsible or liable in any way for
improperly installed SnapPads, even if adjudged negligent.
Motorhome Detailed Instructions
INSTALLATION TIME: 3 – 6 MINUTES PER PAD
While not required, we recommend doubling protecting your jacks by covering
the landing feet with a rubberized protectant such as Flex Seal®. Make sure to
cover your
jack cylinders prior to applying and coat the bottom of your landing feet as
well. Do this prior to installing your SnapPads and allow the protectant to
cure for 24 hours.
Do not spray your SnapPads with the sealant (it will not adhere to the
rubber).
-
SnapPad installation should be performed on a level or near-level surface – preferably a hard surface (concrete or asphalt). Wheel chocks should be placed in front of
and behind the RV wheels for additional safety. -
Inspect the condition of the metal landing feet on each jack to ensure the SnapPad will fit snuggly, securely, and safely. Metal landing feet displaying bending,
misshapen area, damage, excessive rusting or corrosion, or signs of warping may not safely accept a SnapPad with resulting risks of damage, injury or death. -
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 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 of 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 owner’s 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. Run a finger around the edge of the lip to confirm it 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 off any excess soap and repeat the installation process, in sequence, on your remaining jacks.

-
Each leveling system will have it’s own manual operation function. Please refer to your owner’s manual for specific directions.

Grab a helper! It’s safer, faster, and more efficient with two people.
-
Use your phone or another person to relay the information between the installer and the person working the controls.
-
Install each SnapPad individually and visually confirm the reinforced lip has engaged on the complete diameter. It is critical your SnapPad has been installed fully and
correctly. -
Standing water? No problem! Your SnapPad PRIME pads have built-in drainage channels.
-
Your SnapPads come with a handy bolt-access hole in the center. You can use this to remove the jack with the SnapPad still attached if needed.
-
Installation is easier in warm weather (50°F or more).
-
While not required, we recommend doubling protecting your jacks by covering the landing feet with a rubberized protectant such as Flex Seal®. Make sure to cover your jack cylinders prior to applying and coat the bottom of your landing feet as well. Do this prior to installing your SnapPads and allow the protectant to cure for 24 hours. Do not spray your SnapPads with the sealant (it will not adhere to the rubber).
