Update...
I called Atwood yesterday to order a new jack motor. The woman I spoke with this time was great...and asked if I was certain it wasn't just the "torque" gear that was stripped, as they DO now sell just that one gear. I told her I'd have to call her back, as I hadn't taken the jack off yet.
I moved the mh to a different campground yesterday afternoon. When I got here I turned the jack system on so I could manually override the fault and get the other three jacks down.
When I turned it on, no alarm. Hit Extend All...and all 4 jacks go down. So I guess when I put my drill on the motor and couldn't get the jack to move, it was because it was in the "unclutched" state, NOT because a gear was stripped. So me putting my drill on the jack was the same action as FreshAir's trick of spinning the nut.
Anyway...all my feet are down, and Momma's happy, cuz I'm not cussin' Atwood :)
