Hey Bill, sorry to hear that happened to you - but for a 3,000 lb trailer you should be aiming for a jack that has a 4,000 lb or better capacity.
Something like the Scissor Stabilizer Jacks w/ Handle # TJSCHD-24 would work prefect for you because it's got a nice 5,000 lb capacity. If you need anything else, or have any other questions feel free to leave a comment and I'd be happy to help!

Hey Bill, how did the new scissor stabilizer jacks work out on your camper? It’d be great to know if the 5,000‑lb capacity gave you the stability you needed. Your update could make it easier for others with similar campers to choose the right setup.
