There are actually special jacks for truck bed campers like yours. We carry some manual camper jacks, # CJ41, rated for 3,000 pounds. They have a 57 inch maximum lift height. It is recommended that 2 people operate the jacks simultaneously to make it easier to raise each side of the camper evenly. However, 1 person can do the job by alternately lifting or lowering each jack in small increments.

Landing gear types of jacks such as # UF17-943010 are for 5th wheel trailers and would not have the necessary lift and ease of attachment needed for a truck bed camper.

It could be the motor but it could also be the screw/nut inside the jack leg that is causing the problem. Since you mentioned that it is hard to crank it manually I suspect that it is likely the screw and/or nut. On jacks that have an ACME screw the…
