Landing Gear Emergency

I would use sufficient wood blocking and 20 ton bottle jacks under both sides of the main trailer frame just behind where the kick up is. One jack on each side. Raise the first jack under the frame rail and support the undamaged side first. Then raise the jack under the frame rail on the damaged side jacking that side up level with the other side. Then jack both sides together evenly raising the camper evenly to hook up to the tow vehicle. The camper would have to be supported as such to make repairs to the damaged leg any way.

That's what I did when I had to replace a damaged leg. 20 ton bottle jack to lift the frame under the main part of the camper, then support on big jack stand, and repeat with other side. Once both landing gear legs are just a little bit off the ground, you can remove the damaged leg from inside the front compartment pretty easily. Heaven help you if you have an installed generator. Hitching to the TV isn't a great option, because it leaves you with no room to work between truck and front compartment.
