We may have landing gear that works for you, though there isn't any landing gear that will work with space between brackets of 21-1/2 inches, though I'm wondering if maybe you measured from the top of one bracket to the bottom of the other? That would make sense since brackets are about 2 inches, and where you might get 21-1/2 inches.

But to determine the correct replacement landing gear, you will need to measure the mounting brackets on your trailer from the underside of the top bracket to the top of the lower bracket as shown in the diagram.

So if you measured the brackets like in the diagram and got 17-1/2 inches you could use the Landing Gear Set # RVLG-8000.

Then for a manual crank with this set you would need the Manual Crank # RVLG-HDL.

For a motor and switch you would use the 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear Motor # LC142178 with Switch # LG-145236.

If you did find your brackets were 20-1/2 inches you would need to replace them with the Replacement Weld-On Mounting Brackets # LG-Brackets.
