Does anyone that has installed know if this has any pads that install between the mounting feet any the topper? Just wondering how this is waterproof

It does have foam-like washers. I installed mine easily with no leak issues. I opted for longer bolts due to the roof thickness on my shell.

It does have rubber pads and I don't CARE if it leaks into my truck bed below, it'll dry out in due time, no harm no foul. FYI, it hasn't leaked yet.

Yes, there were pads sent with mine. I installed it about 6 months ago, and no leaks so far. There are also metal plates that go on inside of cap through which the bolts go, to give it really good strength. I hauled two kayaks from Ohio, to Florida and back again with no problem using these racks.

Yes there are pads that come with the kit. I didn't assume that it would be waterproof, so I added some RTV sealant at the bolt penetrations. They have yet to leak in just over a year of being installed.

It does come with rubber pads but that does not make it waterproof, you still have to silicone around the holes you drill and the bottom of the pads.

Yes, there are rubber pads, but water still seeps in anyways. Had to pull it out, put polyurethane in the hold and under and over the pads before the seepage stopped.

There are pads that go between the feet and topper. I have had mine since about November and have had no water issues.

there is a pad on it but not foam... it is basically an air mattress, but that means it completely obliterates that metal bar. It worked well for us, but we put a memory foam mattress topper on top of it which made it very comfy, though super deep, so needed new sheets. It seemed to have a slow leak over time, but the blow up thingy is easy to use and fixes that in a jiffy. Mother in law loved it.

Its waterproof. I bought a cloth cover to go over it for more comfort. Worked great for me!

I have no knowledge of whether or not they are waterproof or not, nor do I intend to test to see... My only negative about them is that they are terribly hard to fit onto a foam (and, presumably latex) mattress due to a too small piece of elastic which causes the pad to bunch up into a small 'wad', and requires either three people, or two and a contortionist, to put on. The quality of the materials appears to be excellent, and the texture leads me to believe that it would in fact be waterproof. I do not look forward to have to remove the pad for washing, and then replacing it. It is simple TOO DIFFICULT A PROCESS.

I use the Naturepedic organic waterproof flat mattress pad. It just lays flat on the top of the mattress (no sides to wrap around the sides of the mattress), then you put a fitted sheet over it.

Anyone ever get an actual dimension of the mounting pads? Tight on space to mount and want to get the exact size. Thanks.

I think it's water proof. I mounted mine on the chassis and it is working fine. Only had in use for a few weeks now.

We have had the canopy for one month less than one year. The foot pads have four mounting holes however King Canopy says the foot pads are not for anchoring (in bold type). The poles fit into the foot pads. We used sand bags to hold the canopy in place. We used snow load cables to keep the canopy from doing the splits. Our setup does not comply with King Canopy's specifications.

I didn't use anything under it. The foot pads are pretty well designed to avoid damage. My former in-laws have the next size up and have had no problems even with all the neighborhood kids playing in the pool.

this is used in our camper which is hibernating now that winter is here. I will say it is the best pad we've bought & we really like it better than the regular foam ones. So comfy :)

I tried putting it in the tent & the zipper broke & I had to exchange the tent. The pad doesnt fit inside & doesnt seem to be designed to fit inside the tent. I read other reviews that said heavy rain will flow water down the tent & undernieth. The Pad cover seems moderetly water-resistant but to avoid getting the foam wet Im putting a rain tarp over the whole set-up when I go camping. I think the inadequate coverage of the Quick Tent`s rainfly over the cot/pad is what makes it so cheap. I dont mind since I plan on sleeping in it w/out the rainfly under a raintarp this Summer. Hope this helps

I have a retractable tonneau cover but have noticed water between the bed and tail gate mainly because it froze. Even with it frozen and opening and closing the tail gate the liner stayed in tact. I really like the liner somehow it seems to keep stuff I put in the bed in place where it would have otherwise slid around.

I have a Tempurpedic mattress with a 3" topper for a softer feel (a lower density memory foam than the TP) and I had the same problem with the topper moving off the mattress,even with a well fitted mattress pad. Very annoying,until I bought a "no-slip/non-skid" mesh originally used under rugs on hardwood floors. This solved the problem beautifully and the topper has not moved an inch under the mattress pad since. I bought a roll of the stuff from an online futon retailer which promote it used to avoid futons sliding off the frame. Cost total was about $14 incl.shipping.

You need to add a pad (similar) to a ladies sanitary napkin (in fact they are less expensive) on the belt. The belt is not waterproof. But it works great! After a while my dog didn't need the pad. Once the belt goes on he knows we are going out & he can't tinkle. Also, great customer service with this company. Hope this help.

It doesn't let moisture make its way down to the the mattress.The mattress pad its self will get get wet in its top layer of material but it is waterproof. It is also not crinkly or noisy like cheap or old versions of waterproof mattress pads. When i took it out of wash a couple days ago i actually noticed how well it is holding up.

Mine was under an eave but it still got wet once in awhile, no major in it and it did have some bulb seals on it. Has anyone else on here mounted this out in the open?

I dont think it is waterproof I have an older dog who sometimes urinates in her sleep and when it has happened when she is on the couch it has gone through the cover and onto my couch I now keep washable puppy pads under these covers for this reason as they are waterproof but not very attractive
