2018 Lance 650 Replacement Recommendation for Atwood Jacks

Question

Question:

Hi. I have a 2018 Lance 650. The Atwood electric jacks have an issue, the remote stopped working and I know these are not supported anymore. What are my best options for retrofitting these jacks with e-trailer products? Im interested in electric or going manual, it would be cool to have swing out jacks since our truck has large and wide wheels. Appreciate your time!

Thanks for all of the details!

For your application you're going to want the 8.8K HappiJac Truck Camper Jack System which comes both in manual and electric configurations:

- Manual # LC736514-4
- Electric # LC736514-ELKIT

Then for swing-out brackets you need 2 of the Swing Out Extension Bracket Kit # LC182496.

I'm pretty sure the mounting brackets that come with these won't match what your Atwood jacks used so this will be a completely new install.

It looks like the HappiJac 4100 series jacks had 34.5" of travel, and there are some parts available to replace things in a pinch, but with newer trucks getting taller it might be wise to upgrade to a whole new set of jacks. I recommend taking a…

I checked with Torklift and the correct tie downs for your 1995 Ford F-350 that has running boards that run under the bed of the truck are part #TLF4000 and #TLR3501.

Answer 10

Hey Travis, the #LC736514-ELKIT requires 8.5 inches of clearance from the top bolt jack to the top of the motor for installation. If you only have 6.5 inches of clearance this would not work for you.
