This week we ended up not doing anything. I had company classes to take and doctors appointments. Next hitch we will be working on the new brackets we built out of 1/4in. x 12 in. flat bar cut and welded last hitch. The old brackets were not sturdy enough to handle the Jack's, we almost dropped the camper at 3 ft off the ground when the Jack brackets started twisting and the camper started twisting. We almost lost control of it, but my brothers Quick thinking secured it to the truck and pulled it straight and we lowered it back to the dolly he built. New brackets and now all we need to do is drill the holes in the new brackets exactly where the previous holes in the camper are now.

Yesterday we put a drill mark on the new jack brackets where the old holes are on the camper, My brother is going to drill the holes with the drill press and the holes for the brackets that are on the Jack's that holds them to the brackets.
