I've seen various uses of jack pads for heavy motorhomes. I've seen plastic, rubber, and hardened plastic ones. I installed RV Snap Pads on my coach which after the fact I realized they do contact and conflict with the chassis and I probably should not have installed them on my coach but they have remained intact and work well.
The purpose of a jack pad is not protect a surface from marking but actually to provide a larger footprint to distribute the weight. If your jack pads are folding up under weight, i.e. a thick rubber that is not maintaining its form (cough: not naming names here) then your jack pad is ineffective. A jack pad that can distribute the weight under a jack should not lose its form to properly protect the surface below whether concrete or soft surface (grass/turf).
The best jack pads I've seen for heavy Class A motorhomes are DICA RoadWarriors. You can purchase the size based on weight but I recommend the largest size as that is going to distribute the surface area under your jack the greatest and protect the surface of the campground you're showing respect to or are required to use such as FMCA required use on the grass in Perry, GA. RoadWarriors are not heavy and have a useful handle. I am able to easily store them side by side in my house battery bay.
I cannot recommend higher. If you want a quality jack pad, DICA RoadWarriors is what I recommend. I am not affiliated, I am a happy customer and will even use these under my RV Snap Pads when the surface needs weight distribution.
