Gentelmen,

I have a 2001 Okanagan. Front passenger side jack dropped down when I was camping and I didn't notice it. I drove off and it sounded like I drove over my fly rod. Unfortunately it was my jack that got ripped off the camper and bent. I was wondering if any of you have ever done this and repaired it? How long of a fix do you think this would be? Or should I
I pay someone to do it?

Thanks!

No picture! You can repair the wood part but can you replace the skin that you’ll need to peel back?

Yep, bent one jack too and the Swing brackets.

Luckily, dealer had the swing bracket and is order the Jack, Titan Reco or whatever.
Motor is easily transferable apparently so I just get the straight jack it's self.

Initially I had a bent swing bracket and initially got it bent back but still wasn't lined up correctly. My Swings come in packets of 2 apx $300, not cheap.
Believe the straight jack is apx $300 too.

Good luck..
