Mine is a 2019 too. Can you send a photo of what your's look like please? To me mine seem to be pretty standard feet for all the LevelUp Jacks both for Motorhomes and 5th wheels.

Regardless I got inspired last night after I received some forum feedback and started drawing up some feet on CAD. I like building things out of steel, so, I cut them out this morning on the CNC table and welded them up. It's all made out of 1/4 inch plate steel. I'm calling it the Elefoot because... well... that's what it looks like!

I don't think anything is going to bend these bad boys. Should be good on hard surfaces and on soft too without the need to put down blocks ever. They are close to 10 inches in diameter and unlike the original ones, they will naturally angle to meet the incline of the floor - so they articulate.

I just want the feet to go down and work.. on any surface, and of course, be strong enough to last the life of the RV. It was a project well worth doing, but frustrating that I had to do it, as when you spend that much on a new RV, you just want it to work!
