I have had problems with the swing out brackets on both of my campers. The old camper had hydraulic jacks. I got swing out brackets when I bought my new dually and one of the Rieco Titan swing out brackets was not straight right out of the box.....it was tilted in. The unfortunate problem was that they sat around in a box for a while before I installed them since I was still using the camper with the old truck and it was to late to send them back. I took that bracket to a local welding shop and he couldn't figure out how to fix it, so I had to buy another one.
With my current camper, I have the heavy duty Atwood jacks and brackets, and one of them was slightly skewed in .... It was that way when I bought the camper used .....I thought at first the brackets on the camper were bent, but removed and re-installed everything ..checking level... and the swing out is not true. I manufactured a shim to make the jack level with the camper as a temporary solution, but am afraid I may have to replace that bracket also.
So ..... in my personal experience, problems with the swing out brackets is not at all unusual.
