hey, do you think outrigger pads are useful for a truck?

I found an RV like this, and there is one plastic pad in the front.

I found some similar pads like that

are these pads necessary for the RV?

what do you think about that?

  • I use them, anything that makes the jack footprint a little larger is good, especially on softer soil.

  • OMG!  This is great entertainment!

    For the OPs sake I hope he/she/it is a bot and not a real person….

  • I use an 8x8 block of wood.  I also use blocks of wood for my stableizers. The less you extend your jack and stableizers the less wobbly the unit will be.
