AJ: What's up, everybody It's AJ, with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be checking out this Lippert fifth wheel landing pad replacement part. You can see there's one here on our landing gear already; I'm going to pop this one off there and show you how easy it is to install this one. Now, there's nothing wrong with the current landing pad, but I just wanted to show you how easy it is to install it. So we're just going to pop out this pin, it pulls off that, and then we'll take our new one. You can see it's a little bit different; it's got this in the center.

That's what the bolt is going to run through. You can just push this up there, line up the holes there, and re-insert our pin. Now you've got it installed.It comes in a quantity of two, so this is the other one that we don't have installed, so we can see them side by side. They're the exact same, as you can imagine. It's actually got a 9" diameter, so that's how big of a footprint it's going to have when it's sitting down on the ground.

That mesh is the one we took off there, but maybe yours is a little bit smaller and you want more of a footprint. This is going to help you do that. This is just going to give you more grip on the ground; that way, if it's soft, muddy ground, or sand, or gravel, something that shifts around, the bigger footprint is going to help you not have any sinkage with your rig when you put the landing gear down.Another thing to think about is, when you're bringing your landing gear down and the metal, the concrete, contact. You don't want to damage the concrete; you also don't want it to slip or cause any issues. I would recommend getting one of the jack pads that we have from inaudible 00:01:43.

This is rubber; it's got a 1" diameter here that's going to protect the concrete, and your rig, when you're bringing in and lowering down the landing gear. That way it doesn't have uneven concrete or anything like that. It's not going to damage or push down on there, and the metal is not going to slip or anything. It's going to be nice and gripped with this rubber pad.Another thing I want to point out, the new landing pad versus the old one, is there's actually holes in the new one, and that's going to help water if it pools up in there; it just doesn't sit here and slowly erode away, it actually can drain back down there and not cause any issues.That does it for our look at the 9" landing pads from Lippert. I hope this helped..
