You can definitely see the rust areas in the one without the hole. Maybe Heartland could add them as an option. Never letting the bottom touch the ground would be great for the rust issue. Also really like the idea of the added height off a 2 inch block added if needed.

Loving all the feedback! This idea is already in the works. I guess great minds think alike

Just kidding on the $$$
And you can use the "SnapPad stackers" name if you want.
You guys Rock

I have drilled hole in two of mine that always hold water. I can't remember what size but I used but was not very big. I only did two of them as they are the only two that seem to hold water.

Maybe I'll pull one off today and do some experimenting with some different types of drill bits.

Jerrod - let us know how hard it is to get the other pads off. The two front metal pads on our coach seems to show more rust around the lips of the metal pads than the other 4 jacks. I agree in that we love how the SnapPads works, adding the little extra height and I think helps stabilizes the coach when all the jacks are down and set up. My concern is tearing or damaging the SnapPads' lip trying to take it off. Yes they need drain holes to help reduce the water retention on top of the metal pads to help minimize rusting issues. If I had really thought about it, I would have spray painted the metal pads before adding the SnapPads on. Aw will

I used a little WD-40, a few screwdrivers and it came right off

First hole is a great success
I used a 1/2" Forstner drill bit. The fast cleaning type. It drilled a perfect hole right through. I started the hole about a 1/2" down the side then drill in an angle back up towards the groove. It came out perfect.

Now that I'm looking at the pictures I might need to angle it up a bit more. I'll install this one and see how it looks.

My RV SnapPads are scheduled to be delivered on Monday.
Rather than drilling a hole I intend to try and melt a hole through with a pencil tip soldering iron.
Don't know how that will work out but I'll let you know. Unless someone else tries it first.
On edit, since I was distracted while posting it took me a half hour to complete and now I see that Jerrod used a Forstner bit and I like that idea better.
Now I gotta look for my Forstner bits.
Peace

I did another hole on the opposite side of this pad then after breaking out my rotary tool to clean it up I see this hole is to high, I didn't want to jeopardize the upper lip of the pad. I think it's fine but the next one I will drill the hole 1/2" down like I did the first one, then raise the hole up into the lip with the rotary tool.
I really don't think you guys need to be this particular about it but I'm trying to find the perfect hole.
The pad holds a little bit of water even without the SnapPad on it. But with the holes in them they can drain the majority out and evaporate the rest..
