Who makes a battery powered drill that will lift the truck camper? I have several drills but none have the torque to lift the camper. Also I know not to use a hammer drill as that will ruin the righ...

This probably isn't the answer you're looking for and depending on where you store your camper may not be a viable option but this is how I do it.
I use a pair of 34 inch high sawhorses that, combined with the jacks, support the camper rock steady at loading height. To unload I run all jacks to the ground with a light weight cordless drill. Five cranks on one of the front jacks and five cranks on the opposite side front jack (run same side rears down consecutively with drill) drive truck out, slide horses in and lower. So I never do more than 10 cranks by hand total.
An additional benefit is you don't have to duck when walking under the cab over.
Loading is same routine, takes virtually no time.
