There may be a couple options;
1. Can the jacks be lowered in their brackets on the camper so they are closer to the ground? Perhaps an extension bracket to mount the jacks in a lower position on the camper.
2. get a couple rail road ties, lay them on the ground and lower the jacks to the ties. for more stability, lag bolt a cross beam 2x4 across the back of the two railroad ties, forming a U shape you back up to and lower the jacks on. The cross beam keeps the railroad ties from shifting.
If on a dirt area, dig a couple trenches for your tires so the jacks are closer to the ground, unload, then drive up and out of the trenches.
