Let's Christen the new Forum w/ a Happijac versus Rieco Titan discussion!

I added Rieco Titan power jacks to our 2003 camper after a couple years of using a battery drill on the manual jacks.  It was a huge improvement.  The same RT system was on the camper when I sold it in 2019.  The RT system was still working perfectly after 14 years.  Our new camper we bought in 2019 came with a Happijac system.  I was leery after all the bad I had heard about HJ from this forum and others.   Sure enough, after two years the right front motor quit working.  I took it all apart, and couldn't see anything wrong with it.  No water infiltration, nothing  It would only work if I gave it power and turned the gear on the motor to get it spinning.  So, as replacement motors weren't available, I bought one of the new style motors.  It's worked perfect the last couple years, still running 3 old style motors and 1 new style motor.

My take - I have tremendous faith in the Rieco Titan system, and close to zero faith in the Happijac system.

My second camper with Rieco jacks. Happijac has stepped up their product with stronger units, but I feel this is a catch up to RT rather than surpassing them. I have not compared pricing for replacement parts, so maybe there is more value in one than the other?
