Electric jacks for old camper

I only had my Reico-Titans for a few years, before I sold the camper, but they worked great! Worth every dime!

We currently have Happijacs on our Northstar and haven't had any problem, even though a couple seem noisier than the others so I am a little concerned.

Sorry, not a very informative post, huh?

Do you have hydraulic or mechanical currently? If you have mechanical, depending on what brand, Reico-Titan, I believe, makes an after market conversion kit for some.

Now, in terms of brands, I personally view Rieco-Titan as the best built made, with Atwoods second and Happijacs dead last.

I have mechanical currently. The conversion kits seem pretty expensive compared to just buying new electric ones, and the current jacks are really old.

They're about $600 less for the conversion, but yeah, the prices have shuffled a bit since I last looked.

Before that, a set of four electrics, plus the control hardware ran over $2000 before shipping, so the $1100 for the conversion cost alot less.

I found a set of Atwood's on Craigslist a few years ago for my camper. They came off a Lance . I paid for 4 as much as one new one costs. I did have to wire them in but all works well .

I would think any of them will do the work.
I have Atwood on my 4200 lb camper and they work well after 13 years.
Looks like they will outlast the camper, who is having aluminium frame.

I have a 95 880. It has Atwood electric jacks. They are the older style that are controlled from the jacks on the driver's side of the camper. The front and rear jacks on that side each have two switches Front Jack controls both front ones and the rear one controls both rears.

Does your 92 have sockets to connect the wires from the jacks? If it's set for ones like mine the sockets on the drivers side will have more pins then those on the passengers side. If those sockets are present then installing these jacks should be simple. The wiring should have ermine the in the fuse block under the sink.

You might find the jacks at a site like Adventure RV.

I have a 1988 Bigfoot. I paid $1000 for it in 2004, it had hydraulic jacks. In about 2005 I made the decision, and bought a Stable Lift at a cost of $2500. I have no regrets, a great system. I have recently purchased a DRW, and will have to modify the Stable Lift to work on the DRW. The width is fine on my SRW, but I don;t really like the width it would be on a DRW so I may just sell or trade the Stable Lift.
