We can only assume you are talking about a truck camper. You will need a large wrecker and some tow straps. Lots on shoring lumber. Someone knowledgeable in RV repair the replace the jacks. In the mean time get it block up with something to keep it from falling more.

Or at least pick it up and drive back under it.

As you know now, you shouldn't have had it sitting on just the jacks. Cheap insurance is two stacks of pallets for four 55-gal drums.......

Mine sits on the jacks all the time when off the truck. Never had an issue but I lower it down to the ground as close as I can get it.

Sounds to me like the front corner jack mounts were punky and let got (older unit).

Yeah, details would be super. Big difference if it's a truck camper that fell, vs a 5th wheel. Although my guess would be a truck camper.

Truck camper is the only one I know of with front and rear jacks.
