Just for the sake of throwing it out there in case you want to save time you sound like you don't have. Maybe take some really good pic's of the damage. High res and lots of angles. Maybe look for RV service places in your surrounding area. Maybe a 4 hr drive radius. See if someone can give you a good price that's worth the drive and dropping it off.
Just a thought. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")

Sounds like they would rather not work on your camper...
Are there any mobile RV techs in your area who might take a look?
I may have missed the information... which type of jack do you need? Atwoods have been discontinued unfortunately.

Well theres been a lot of good comments on here since I've been gone!!! Thanks I had to drop the camper off at an RV place so I could go to work. (Busy as **** running my own landscape company and dealing with a newborn and a wife.
They just called me a month later to tell me it would be $4500 to fix AND they can't get the jack in until the foreseeable future.
Im shopping right now looking for parts. I think I am going to get it back on my truck and bring it home and try to somehow take it off then fix it myself.
Thanks and here it goes!

I noticed that the camper is build out of finger jointed wood on that corner. It appears that there were three lags holding the jack from the side and three from the front. A section ow the structural wood is ripped out and needs replaced. I would use wood knives and cleanup the remaining wood and get it smooth and level and shape another piece of wood to replace what is missing. Test fit it while dry. Once it is correct sized and fits without voids go to HD and get their strongest wood glue and dab it all around into the side and then press the piece of wood that has been shaped to fit into place and secure it with a couple deck screws and allow to completely cure.
Next I would begin to replace the jack using wood to metal adhesive as well as lag bolt it from the side and the front.
Then work the remaining damage to repair the cosmetic appearance.

Yep that happened to me as well, second year in AF811 Driving down the road heard a metallic clinging noise... Jack tube had broken lose as was bouncing up and down driving down the highway.
I contacted Rieco Titan and they shipped replacement parts to fix it.
Luckily didnt have the thing ripped of. They claim that water freezing in the jack tube cause the failure and did not charge me anything for the parts.. Yippee Riecon Titan.
I strapped it up and went home.
After that I drilled holes in my jack pads and made up some safety wires with clips and always clipped the jacks up...
Sorry to hear about your situation.
