Well, it has been around a month since purchasing the new camper, and it's been living on the truck this entire time. Well the old jacks were severely rusted (this must have been out at the coast). Fortunately the hardware for 95% of the camper is stainless, sans the jacks and brackets. Anyway, I took them off to rebuild and it's been a slow project as time permits.
Here is the condition of the old ones...... These are supposed to be 3/16" thick

I was able to save the dually swing out hinges

So, out came the chop saw and welder, new brackets were made but were designed with more area for support.

And everything got a nice coat of enamel.

Luckily a friend of mine upgraded his year old jacks, so I was able to install clean jacks instead of trying to re-finish the rusty ones.

Spent a few hours installing them. Ended up adding additional lag screws on every bracket where the supports were extended, and on the rear I used bolts and a plate on the upper 4 bolts to sandwich the brackets instead of relying on lag bolts into wood alone. Every piece of hardware is stainless now. I also replaced all the plug covers with new.

Up next, the rebuilt Whipple will be showing up soon. Going to put that on the truck and likely sell the used one.
