Technically I bent them, but only because the kids decided to help before being told to push the buttons. Although i take partial blame, as well. The rears are not made to lift the total weight of the camper, just enough to stabilize it.
Anyway, been doing this for 13 years they. They know the 12 inch pieces of 2x12 go on the ground and then the jacks get put down. I handed the boards to Josh so he could put them in position. I then went to the front to raise the nose to be level. I didn't know he asked his little sister if she wanted to push the button. So she did, and put the rears down while I was raising the front. Got the front where I wanted it and walked the the rear and just stood there for a second with that 'what the hell' look on my face.
Both legs were bent as bad as the one on the right.
I have got them both a tad straighter than the one on the left now.
I'm going to weld a couple of 18 inch pieces of angle iron to the insides, with a couple of cross braces in between. I will update with pics of my Yankee ingenuity as I make progress.
They won't be perfect, but they will be functional again.
