Install new jacks

[macdale4]

Honest thoughts appreciated, smart ass replies ok but only if funny. We have a 97 945 and now all of the Atwood jacks are working but I would hate to get halfway across country and have one fail on me. So I was thinking of dropping the big bucks on a set of Reico Titan jacks. What you all think? (I know I only paid 9k for the camper and the RT's are $3500.) And we are not planning on getting rid of the camper as we think it has the best lay out.

If you want to prolong the life of the current jacks, unbolt them from the camper and store them inside until needed.

Imo, they kinda don’t just “break”
If you take them apart get em all greased up, even if a motor burns up, it’ll still work pretty easy manually.
Being super prepared, maybe try to source a used working motor/head.
But $3500 for something not broke, especially if you don’t have cause to think failure is impending, is not well spent.
Although your stated plans to keep it for a long time may make it more worth it.

Nope I wouldn’t do it.
Sorry no SA remarks.
If it ain’t broke ……..
