Trying to replace my jacks

Howdy,
Just purchased my first camper and am loving it. I would like to upgrade my current jacks though as the teeth are worn down and don't turn too easily. Can anyone recommend a better set up? Ive posted a pic of the current system. Thanks!

Both of our campers, one a '72 and one a '92, (both 11.5') had a hand operated hydraulic jack on each corner. After having the '92 for 23 years I had to replace some O rings in one of the jacks. That was the only problem I had with any of them.

I think the newer models have some sort of electronically operated jacks that look similar to the hydraulics.

Best of luck.

Steve

Rieco Titan makes very good jacks.
Electric, remote control jacks(such I have) are very expensive, a little over $2500.
They also make two types of manual jacks for about $500.
One type is hand crank like on a boat trailer and the other is hydraulic hand crank.
Mounts may be extra $.
