Could use some new ones down there too!

Brad, we are working on year two with the elephant feet and have had zero problems. We have parked on soft sand, wet muddy grass, busted granite, limestone and asphalt. They haven't bent or broken and seem to work very well. Also they have a lip on them that holds the ant and roach spray that keeps the ants and roaches out of the rig... Dave and Betsy

I was wondering if anybody had these - Thanks Dave! I guess you understand what I was concerned with based on your answer, and it would seem they are holding up well.

Hey Brad, when I bent mine I used a large crescent wrench to bend the feet back into position. The wrench seemed to work better than a hammer for me.

One of the items in an SOB manual states to use a 3/4 inch piece of plywood, 12 inches square. (The SOB weighs 27K) Plywood is flexible and will not crack under normal weight distribution.

Sure is a lot cheaper than all those mechanical contraptions.

We always put down some block of wood that we've made just for the landing gear feet. If we're on concrete then we don't really have to put them down but by habit we always do! On any other surface they can often be a real necessity. It's worked so far. But we've only been RVing for 6 years.

I think Steve Reigle had to have his landing gear feet replaced. I think he may have bought one of the alternative feet structures. Perhaps he'll come along soon or maybe a search would turn up something.

Good luck.
