I plan on asking.

Wonder if special ordering R/T jacks an option?

I just looked through a lot of current TC dealer inventory photos of 2019 campers and this is what I came up with.

Atwood Camper Jacks
Lance - They are apparently going to HJ, but I could not find a single photo of a 2019 Lance w/HJ jacks. I assume they will continue using Atwood jacks until their supply is exhausted and then switch over to HappiJac jacks.

HappiJac Camper Jacks
Northern Lite
North Star
Bigfoot
Outfitter (from OF website)
Hallmark (from HM website)
Eagle Cap (from EC website)

Rieco-Titan Camper Jacks
Adventurer
Palomino
Host
Cirrus
Travel Lite
Arctic Fox
Wolf Creek

From the photos on the Host website, looks like Host uses Rieco-Titan.

Admin got me two tickets to the National RV Dealer Show in Louisville, Ky several years ago. That was the first time I had seen Rieco-Titan electric jacks. They looked very roughed and well made.

I have to be honest, I've read too many HJ camper jack problem posts to count. This sucks.

No dog in the hunt but I would bet Host has the standard industry disclaimer somewhere regarding specifications and materials subject to change without notice. I certainly would not trust a picture in a brochure, or even what was seen at an RV show. Look at what is on the unit youre actually going to buy. Lipperts MO is to buy out other manufacturers of components starting with the largest, putting strain on the smaller competitors then buying them out in turn, until they control the whole shebang. Did it with frames, did it with windows, doors, furnishings, etc. Doing it right now with electornics through a partnership with Furrion. Tried it with axles and bombed big time.

Northwood (Arctic Fox / Wolf Creek) still uses RT jacks. Mine have worked flawlessly since 2009.

Based on personal experience, I would much prefer Atwood jacks over HJ. But it is what it is...
