Landing gear drop tubes

[EMD_DRIVER]

I bought a fifth wheel utility trailer, that used to be a camper. Sometime prior to my getting it, someone removed the drop tubes and feet.

I would like to put some back on it, since the landing gear is manual crank and takes a long time!

Anyone know where I could find a set?

Do you have any information on the jacks? Brand, model, inside dimensions of the tubes?

Missing parts for an RV? If a dealer doesn't have the part, or wants an atrocious price for it, I'd start considering an RV Salvage yard. There apparently aren't too many, so you may have to hunt long and hard, but they do exist. An example:

I don't have numbers, but it's an Atwood landing gear setup...

Look like this one?

Yep...

It's got a home made crank, but that's it...

Guess I could just buy some square steel and drill a bunch of holes in it... Then I'd have to make some feet for them too...

I'm not having a bit of luck....

Looks like you might have to make your own... :/

Edit..... this might work, but mind the price...

The guy that does most of my 5th wheel work has a few of them lying around... I may have to try one of them!

I Edited the first post you quoted....

Found some with an outside dimension of 2.25", but they're $54 each...

I'll probably try one of the drop legs in my camper and see if they fit. If so, I'll get some square steel and start the drilling!

Forgot Me

you could put a axle in place
of the landing gear with extra tires
so you can haul a 275 tote

I plan on using it to haul some totes... I just have to beef it up a bit first...
