My jacks were getting a bit "wobbly". As far as I could tell there was no rot, I think after many years of use the bolt holes were just getting a bit worn.
I decided to strengthen them by running a 2"x 1-1/2 angle iron between the front and rear jacks on each side. These are welded to the brackets so they support, and are bolted to, the camper along the whole length. I had them fabricated in a local welding shop, $112 including materials. I painted them 3 coats of Tremclad, and they look and work great.
