Exactly what is failing on the jack? the motors the screw part?
On the early ones pins & screws would shear and gears would break. One Atwood rep I spoke with admitted they had some supplier quality issues around the '07-'08 time frame, which have been addressed. From what I have seen on the replacement parts he was honest and correct. Occasionally you'll hear of a motor going bad, but thats pretty rare.
I also think some were undersized by the MH manufacturers. Was that their fault or did Atwood tell them it would be OK? I don't know.
It's too bad they had the issues right out of the gate, I think it's a decent product that got an early black eye in the marketplace that it was never able to fully recover from.
