Question:
I have a 2007 33 ft. Weekend Warrior 5th wheel toy hauler. The landing gear or leveling leg motor/gears are not strong enough and have failed twice. Looking at the Reese or Ultra-Fab dual motor set ups and was wondering if either would be more specific or better for my rig?

Sounds like your 2007 33 ft. Weekend Warrior 5th wheel toy hauler is pretty heavy if it has caused the landing gear of your trailer to fail twice so far.
Between the Reese Landing Gear part # RP500708 and # UF17-943010 that you referenced I would go with the Ultra Fab as it has a 12k capacity and the Reese has a 8k capacity. Also the Ultra Fab has more positive reviews from the customers we have that have used them.
The Ultra Fab set will require you to weld on new mounting brackets as they use a non-standard mounting bracket that your current ones wouldn't match up with.
