Quality bottle jack?
I am throwing in the towel on cheap bottle jacks from Harbor Freight, Farm & Fleet, etc. Who sells good ones that will last? I realize that a good one will probably cost 3-4 times what I've been pay...

Regardless of the quality of any bottle jack you might want to add to your RV's mix ... make sure you get one with as high a lift (not including the screw top) as possible, for flexibility in any situation, and one with as high a tonnage rating as you can afford, for reliability.
I carry a two-stage 12 ton bottle jack in our RV with plenty of wooden blocks to go with it. The blocks are to put under the jack in soft ground and/or to hold the axles high enough off the ground after you use the jack to raise the axles - since you never want to work around any portion of a raised vehicle with only the jack holding up whatever you raised up.
