Plastic Jack Stand
My camper weighs less than 5000 lbs. Guess what? I will not be buying another one of these jack stands.

No, trailer has not rolled off and twisted the stand. It must just be a defective piece. I have had the camper on it for several months and exposed to the sun. Plastics sometimes do not handle ultraviolent rays too well and I probably should have had it on the wood blocks while stored at home. That's pretty much all I know to say about the failure. My Nomad only weighs 4800lbs and there is no way the tongue weight ever approached 10,000 lbs.
You certainly did nothing wrong. It doesn't need to be stored out of the sun when not used.
Must be defective.
Ours has been used, and exposed to the sun, full time, for 9 years now, without a problem. Ours was bright yellow when we started but now it is slightly faded.
I like them. The first one was going strong after five years of use and went with my previous trailer when sold.
I would be willing to bet the manufacturer would be interested in this situation.
