Will Ground Control 6 Point Rear Jacks Work for Travel Trailer Ground Control System?

Question:

On my travel trailer (Cougar 31SQBWE 2018), the rear jacks are not C-Jacks, but vertical lifts. They look similar to LC428493. It has C-Jack in the front and Vertical Jacks in the back. It seems that many travel trailers came with this configuration in the year we bought it. I'm attaching a photo so you can see by yourself.

The Ground Control jacks for travel trailers are different as they are a C-jack instead of a vertical lift. I recommend using the Replacement C-Jack for Lippert Components Electric Ground Control TT # LC404488 for that application instead of combining because the system is different using a completely different controller as well.

The Replacement Right Rear Leg for Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 6 Point Leveling System # LC428493 and the Replacement Left Rear Leg for Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 6 Point Leveling System # LC342610 have different demand.

Thanks for the photo. That is the first combination we have seen and I reached out to the manufacturer to get assistance. They said they use the same connections and just recently became aware of these parts being combined because they don't offer that in the aftermarket systems...at least yet. I'm sure the demand could drive the change. They are not sure which of the two right rear jacks the trailer manufacturer used but said you can determine which you have with a simple measurement as one is slightly longer than the other when completely retracted. The Replacement Right Rear Leg # LC344792 is longer at 24-3/8 inches from cap to base and the Replacement Right Rear Leg for Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 6 Point Leveling System # LC428493 is slightly shorter at 22-7/16 inches.
