If your brackets on the camper are parallel to the side wall - most campers are - them the Swing Away`s wont give you 4" per side . they give you that much if the brackets are perpendicular to the side wall.
They still give you more than a used set of Atwoods though , the distance from the center of the hinge to the holes to mount the jacks are more than the Atwoods
But the Reico EZ Swings will give you way more clearance if your brackets are parallel to the side of the camper . I put both on my Lance , long story , I did have to cut a small 1/4 " 45 degree notch at the top of the plate to clear the Atwood jack motor cowl ,no big deal and touch it up with white paint
The ez swings have a latch like the happy jacks , you bump the bottom of the hinge pin up to release them , you have to lift the jack with the swing aways and the old Atwood dually extentions
You can just use a plate to extend the old Atwoods but in a closed position that moves the jack closer to the truck and is a problem with rear doors opening o some trucks
The EZ Swings are the nicest but are expensive
