We just bought a camper popup and was wondering if anyone has made there own adapter for a drill to raise jacks, call me cheap but $40-$60 for a adapter is too much..

Yes I made one and I use my battery drill and my elec drill to raise and lower the jacks to ground level but then use crank to pick the camper up.

I got over the sticker shock & bought an adapter for Rieco Titan . $43 shipped.

I took a cutoff wheel to cut a notch in a 3/8-drive socket. Make the notch just deep enough to engage the little stud on the crankshaft. Use an adapter in the drill to drive the socket. (My Ace Hardware has a jar of them by the register.) You can still use the socket on bolts.

Make sure your toes are out from under the foot on the jack when you run it down. That would really hurt.

Update on the jack thing, I made my own, 1" condueit and some welding and it works fine.

now on to my own tie downs! ! ! !
