Plastic feet for corner steady

Does anybody bother using plastic feet on corner steadys to stop them sinking, I did see some but they looked huge in relation to the caravan steadys, I realise the idea the idea is to be bigger but how much bigger?

I've always used them. They spread the load out nicely. My present fitment are I believe Maypole https://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/15910199/ma...cB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Just use wooden blocks - free and easy to replace

I do carry some 150mm oak discs as well. I use these only if one end of the van is especially low, but the integral pads make life a lot easier as you don't need to clean them for putting away.

I seem to recall that when we bought our 2003 Triton in 2011 which came with a set of plastic feet, the chap at Automotive Leisure said that the ones for the Eriba were unusual in that they require 'a two-pin fitting'. I understand that they were no longer available at the time.

Perhaps later vans are different. Here's a picture of one of ours.

The foot design changed to a large open U shape, so the readily available single pin type do the job. The Maypole are a good price and they give you an extra pin with the 4 foot set incase you break one.

They are the same as on our 2006 Troll 2 pins made by Raydyot. Rarer than hens teeth !!!!

The twin pin feet are indeed a very rare beast, the Familia still has the small square foot which needs the double pin. However I use four small round cheap plastic pads that I just place under each foot steady.

Thanks everyone for the replies. An awful long time ago when I had a abbey caravan they had the usual single pin type, my 2015 320 has relatively small feet & from what I can see from your pictures it would need the 2 pin type. I carry blocks of wood originally if one side was very low but it does help to stop feet sinking. If I can find some small neat ones that will fit my thinking is it’s one less thing to pack, plastic is usually light & hopefully stop any feet sinking on grass. I did see some but they were far to big

If anyone see's the twin pin plastic feet for stabilisers it would be handy as i can't find any, ideally not huge ones for a little 320

Hi monoboard

We use slightly different ones to the ones in the pictures above. Ours are square ones from Milenco called Stacka Corner feet. These stay on all the time and we have had them for nearly four years. They also fit into Stacka Jacka pads which can adjust the height slightly on uneven ground.

They seem to work well for us and I never clean them. You can see them on the Milenco Web site

Hi MikeT
I've glanced on there website but the plastic feet seem to be the single pin type, mine really needs the twin pin type & ideally not huge for a tiny caravan. You would think someone would make them and corner the market for the eriba owners!

Sounds like a job for 3d printing
