What's the deal with Truck Camper Jacks?

There are a number of Camper Jack manufacturers. These include Hijacker, Happijac, Atwood, Rieco Titan and Brophy. The most common in these parts would be the Hijacker hydraulic jacks. Hijacker jacks were made in Victoria British Columbia by Victoria Industries for many years. Recently Victoria Industries was sold to Demco and they will not continue manufacturing camper jacks. This is a shame really, because we could easily get rebuild kits for these jacks and now they are no longer available. The other maker of hydraulic jacks is Rieco Titan, which are not very common in this neck of the woods. Today most manufacturers use Happijac screw type jacks. They are available with a manual crank or 12 volt electric motors. Atwood makes a screw type jack, available with a manual crank or 12 volt electric motor. Rieco Titan has a tripod jack available. These jacks are manual screw type and usually get unbolted and removed, or swing up under the campers wing wall. Lastly, there are Brophy jacks, common on campers of the 70's and 80's. These have a winch and cable and are not very portable.
