I think OP got upset with thread moderation and deleted what he wrote on the beginning.
The pictures that you can find links for show that the camper front jacks failed and camper drop damaging pickup on its way. That short time after purchase sure sucks and I feel for the poster.
One of the jacks bend, the other rip-off from the camper frame.
One failure had to lead to other, but question is wchich one was first.
I am just rebuilding lower front of my camper due the rotten wood behind jack mounts.
My camper has aluminium frame, what holds it together, but aluminium is only small skeleton, where lot of framing is still based on wood.
I discover that my front lower wall has no aluminium and the main beam holding sides of the camper was 3/4" x 3.5" where shear plywood was symbolic only. All attached with staples only. That for camper that loaded comes to 6500 lb.
The beam under the sides sag 3/4" per my measurements.
So to each fellow camper owner - inspect your jacks mounts very carefully and whenever you can, lower front jacks to keep the camper square.
