Afternoon all...
Just after a bit of advice on camper trailer legs...

I need to replace the stabalizing legs on the back of the camper and would like to up grade them to a leg capable of "jacking" the camper , not just stabalize it. The question is .... does any one know whats available and where to get hold of them.

Thanks,
Boo

There's also 'Stak-a-jak's'. About $25 each from most caravan/camping shops.

Be very careful "jacking". Depending on the style of your camper, it's easy to warp the chassis with consequent problems ranging from just annoying (door/hatches not shutting) to real damage such as creased panels. The stabilisers are usually just that - only stabilise. You get the levels right by using ramps or digging a hole under one wheel.

Look for Alco [?] drop down jacks. Best by a mile, no dumb screw driving a pivoting arm to get clogged with mud/dust etc. Could easily lift a camper as it works on a rack & pinion but you may need to watch the twisting effect as noted in another reply.
