It is possible that there is a part number somewhere that would help identify the landing gear on your trailer. Sometimes there is information on the underside of the caps on the tops of the jacks so that is another place you can check if you haven't already.

Many landing gear parts are interchangeable among the different manufacturers but this is not always the case so identifying the manufacture and/or model number is important.

Another option is to replace the landing gear with an economical set such as # RVLG-8000. Manual crank # RVLG-HDL and motor # LC142178 sold separately. And you may also need a switch, # LG-145236, if the original landing gear was manually operated.

Is it possible to turn a manual set of legs into electric power legs on a fifth wheel camper

@BigA It is but it depends on which landing gear set you have on the fifth wheel. If you can get me the brand of the landing gear I can see if there's a way to add a motor to it.
