Dont know jack!
Hello everyone, thank you for the use of the site.
I recently purchased a 1991 Sunline that has a three jack system. Being new to this I did some research and found these to be a bit unstable. On top of that the bases are in pretty bad shape(rust) and one of them needs to be rebuilt as one of the gears are stripped. From what I have read online this can be a disaster and dangerous step and dont want to mess around and take a chance on someone getting hurt. The prices for jacks seem to be all over the place but I found these online for 520.00 with free shipping. The dry weight on the camper is 2100 and the jacks are rated at 2300. I dont plan on storing the camper on these as Ill build stands for the camper once its off the truck so I'm assuming the weight will be fine on them.
Rieco-Titan Standard Tripod Camper Jack - 4 Pack
MODEL TST-1000-4Z1
I only paid 800.00 for the camper and the jacks which on most newer campers come built into it so in my mind this puts the camper at $1300.00 and I haven't even had it in my truck yet.
I'm looking for experience with the three jack system to know if it will be fine to use or should I spend the 520.00 for the new jacks?
Thanks
