The Brophy Cable Camper Jacks # CJ31 referenced in your question are designed to allow for easy loading and unloading of your truck camper but could be used as stabilizing jacks along with the 3 existing jacks on your camper to help support and hold the unit in place while it's off the truck. If you plan on using the camper when it's off the truck you will still want to use some kind of floor support as well.
These two cable jacks feature a combined weight capacity of 1,000 pounds and... view full answer...
The L-Bracket on the Brophy Cable Camper Jacks # CJ74 would need to slide under your camper shell on either side and then you would use the winches to help raise the camper shell off of your Ford F-350. You can use 2x4s if you want to but really the camper jacks can handle the weight so it really boils down to finding a way to stabilize your camper shell.
Since these camper jacks were designed to be used for an in-bed truck camper I'm not sure if I have any pointers for your application... view full answer...
There is no danger of the Brophy Cable Camper Jacks # CJ31 flipping the camper over when you are using them; you just need to ensure they are properly used and aren't overloaded past their 1,000 lb (combined) capacity. These jacks have a tripod base which means the weight is evenly distributed so there isn't going to be any movement, and the winches that raise and lower the jacks have safety latches to ensure you can maintain control at all times. view full answer...
You should not have a problem with the camper sliding out when you are using any of the Brophy Cable Camper Jacks. The jack is very stable because of the tripod base. That stability will make the jack very difficult to tip to the front or the back. You will need to use two jacks, one per side. You will just need to make sure your camper jacks maximum weight capacity exceeds the weight of your camper.

There isn't a minimum distance apart that the JT's Strong Arm Jack Stabilizer Kit for Travel Trailers part # LC191025 must be located. The instructions state the following in regards to positioning.
- Locate a cross-member rearward of the rear jacks at a minimum of 4” to a maximum of 18” for jacks mounted at an angle. For jacks mounted square with the chassis frame, use a minimum of 6”.
- Under front half of chassis, locate a cross-member or center compartment with a steel floor from... view full answer...
A powered trailer tongue jack like the Stromberg Carlson Camper Jack # JET-2500 is best wired to a dedicated battery on the trailer. If the battery is dead then the trailer's 7-way connector won't be able to deliver enough current to operate the jack. A 7-way 12V circuit is intended to deliver a small maintenance charge to a trailer battery that is in good shape or to pass enough juice for a camper dome light for example, but not to power a trailer jack. The vehicle's 12V feed on the 7-way... view full answer...
The Circuit Board for HappiJac Electric Truck Camper Jack Systems # LC733513 should be located inside the camper near the front bed wall. This is generally in the area of the main electrical panel.
I have included a picture of the main circuit board location instructions for the HappiJac camper jack systems. view full answer...
You are correct that the difference between using the standard mounting option on the HappiJac Electric Truck Camper Jack System # LC736515-ELKIT and adding the Swing Out Extension Brackets for HappiJac Truck Camper Jack Systems # LC182496 is that the standard jacks are static and the swing out bracket provide additional clearance from the truck. There is not a noticeable difference in the stability between the static and swing out brackets, but you'll really only need these swing out brackets... view full answer...
You definitely need to at least take pressure off of the jack leg to install the Repair Kit # LG-146059. If you have enough room to operate then you might be able to install the repair kit without removing the jack but it would be much easier with the jack removed from your camper plus if you dropped something inside the jack you would be able to quickly retrieve it. view full answer...
On the camper you'd have a set of the Happijac Z-brackets like part # LC182493 installed which is what the jacks like part # LC736514-4 attach to. view full answer...
The Brophy Cable Camper Jacks # CJ31 has tripod feet with the longer two legs sitting at almost a 90 degree angle in proportion to the smaller leg. Since they don't sit at a perfect 90 degree angle they will be slightly under the L-brackets that you will be lifting with. This should not be an issue though as the the lowest height the brackets can get to is 17 inches. view full answer...
The replacement manual jack for the 4200 and 4160 jacks are the HappiJac Manual Truck Camper Jack System, part # LC736514-4. We have the electric upgrade kit for this part, so we have the upgrade for you.
Because your camper is already pre-wired, you can get the version without the wiring, which is part # LC733960. I called HappiJac to get an installation manual for you. They did not have one, but they were able to get a wiring diagram for me, which I have emailed to you separately.

Without bolting or welding down the scissor jacks # TJSCHD-24-4 they'd still do a decent job stabilizing the camper but considering how much more convenient they are when installed on the trailer I'd recommend you go that route. Would also prevent the jacks from slipping possibly. view full answer...
Although the Jack-in-a-Box Camper Slide-Out Support Set # JB-30 are meant to be used for supporting a slide out on an RV, I'm sure you could find a way for them to add some extra support in addition to the OEM supports that came on your 2000 Viking Popup.
Attached is a review video for you to check out. If you look at some of our customer reviews you can see that they have used these jacks for other purposes as well. view full answer...
Yes, the HappiJac Electric Truck Camper Jack System # LC736514-ELKIT has a set of accessory buttons on the remote which will allow you to also control your slide outs. view full answer...
The Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover part # STC-V211 would be perfect even for a pop-up camper. The lighter the trailer, the easier it will be to move. The larger tires will then be no problem for the grass or gravel drive. It does however work best when the gravel is tightly packed.
I have attached a review for you of a customer of ours who used this on their pop-up camper as well. view full answer...
The Ark XO Drop Down Corner RV Stabilizer Jacks # ARK87FR can be used for leveling. Ark actually has a "How to Level a Caravan or Camper Trailer" section in their installation guide. The legs have a support capacity of 1,925 lbs per jack in the 90 degree position so they could handle the weight of your camper with one at each corner. Even if you're changing a tire, you still want to be hooked up to the vehicle and the tires on the opposite side would be on the ground supporting some weight.

This has come up before and I've personally reached out to Happijac and they said it is not recommended to use the new Replacement Clutchless Motor Head for HappiJac Truck Camper Jacks # LC759927 on the 4160 jacks.
Reason being, is the 4160 is a 2-piece construction ACME screw drive, and the roll pins that connect the ACME screw to the upper assembly can shear with the clutchless motors. view full answer...
I do have a way which has proven to help control the middle jacks but at this time Lippert does not offer a control panel which allows for operation of just the middle jacks. The Panels # LC74FR and # LC83VR you have along with the Aftermarket Panel # LC421484 for the Lippert Ground Control # LC675817 only allow the middle jacks to lower and stabilize your 5th wheel after the front and rear jacks have leveled the camper. There is a work around which allows you to confuse the system. This... view full answer...
