Have the seller take a picture of the jacks so you know approximately what they look like. Then bring a couple large steel plates or tubes, a drill and some bolts. Build fixed-length extenders on the spot.
I would not be comfortable backing under a camper with rollers when the rear jacks are the only thing resisting that.
That's another good idea. I could get some 4" C channel relatively cheaply in an 9' length. With a drill and some bolts I'm sure I could quickly fab a makeshift bracket to use the existing jacks as long as the front brackets are flat and not N/S to the TC.
Rollers sound so much easier though. Maybe if the owner could back the TC up to a block wall, or even park their truck behind to help brace the TC to make sure the jacks don't bend.
