Mine have the mushroom feet on them. I still use the plywood. Just want to keep them out of the dirt.

My stabilizers have the round feet on them. I put orange plastic pads under them, because it looks cool. That and the fact I tend to forget to pick up stuff when we leave.

Metal sand shoes as ground

On of the advantages of using the metal sand shoes is that they ground the trailer. Putting wood planks or plastic under them defeats the function. If you get reverse polarity from the campsite, the trailer skin will become electrically hot and gets you when you reach for the door handle when you are standing on damp grass. Parkers at International will check that your trailer is properly grounded.

I appreciate that, however my surge protector will not allow reverse polarity to reach the trailer. If it did, my cast aluminum tongue jack stand grounds the trailer.
