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.

Aside from the weight capacity of the jacks and their speed, they also have different mounting bracket locations. If you don't mind potentially having someone do some cutting and welding on your trailer then either one will work great for you. If…
