Question:

Is there a manual override if the motors fail?

Yes, you can manually raise and lower the Reese landing gear, # RP500708, in the event of a power failure or something else. There is a spot on top of the jacks where you can attach a wrench to and turn it to raise or lower the jack. This will work in a pinch but it is slower than the motor is.

I have included a link to a video review and a picture of the jack showing the location of the manual operation area.
