Stay away from Happijac! Granted I use my camper in winter at a ski area in Washington where salt is used on the roads so my jacks are exposed to severe conditions and those conditions are extremely severe if you have Happijacs. The motors leak and are only good for 3-4 years, jacks rust out, even the new zinc-plated 4800s (their best jacks) don't hold up.
I'm now on my 3rd set of motors on the rear and 2nd on the front plus 3rd set of jacks all-around. I will post pictures soon of my 4800s after 3 seasons of use here at the pass, not doing much better than the old powder coated ones.
Customer service used to be top-notch at Happijac, but the parent company (Lippert) has changed that recently.
I would go with Atwood or Reico Titan, campers up here seem to have a lot less issues with them.
