Recommendation of Square A-Frame Jack w/ Footplate

Updated 05/04/2021 | Published 05/03/2021

Question:

Currently own a Lippert 421366 https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Lippert/LC421366.html for our trailer. It malfunctioned on me over the weekend, Lippert is kind enough to send us a replacement but dont want to trust another electric jack and thus looking for a manual jack as a backup. Here are the specs of my camper: Tongue weight: 810lbs Dry weight: 7000lbs Full: 8100lbs What would be the correct weight manual jack to look at? Thank you in advanced. P.S. Yes, I know theres a manual way to lower / raise the LCI jack but the NUT broke and was stuck at a campground, luckily, a good camping neighbor used a heavy duty truck jack.
