Today we welcome back Kent Wilson, COO of SnapPad. Kent has information on some new products, including the RV SnapPad Cap. We also get a sneak peek of some exciting new products coming in the future.
RV SnapPad’s Cap for Stackers
One of the new products we talk about is their Cap, which is designed for use with stackers. If you have any experience, you probably noticed stackers are a bit brittle. The Cap is made to fit on top of the stackers to help extend the life of the stacker and give you extra grip, preventing your jacks from slipping.
When we asked Kent what some of the challenges are when developing a new product, he had this to say. “The issue with jack feet is that they are all slightly different. Some of them have upturned lips. Some are square or octagonal, so you always have a slightly different engineering challenge when it comes to leveling systems. When you go to the travel trailers, they have stabilizers. It could be a hand crank system, it could be an electric system, and there are also different feet. Some of them are round, some of them are square.”
Made in the USA
Kent also talks about the advantages of having everything made in the USA and from recycled rubber, especially when other companies had supply chain issues due to outsourcing materials to foreign countries.
We chat about testing all the new products and how they are made from the same strong, durable rubber that we are familiar with from their other products. SnapPad also did a lot of real-world testing with the new products by sending them out to customers and having them test them in real-life situations.
We were happy to hear they are now making SnapPads for truck campers and various travel trailers. However, as the company grows, new challenges arise. Kent talks about what some of the growing pains have been.
RV SnapPad Accessories
SnapPad is also coming out with some fun accessories. One is SnapPad drink coasters. These drink coasters are made of the same recycled rubber as the full-size SnapPads. These are a fun way to bring SnapPads home and will probably be a fun conversational piece. Kenny is planning on buying a set for his home bar.
