VerifiedHi: Thank you for coming to Just Answer with your question. My name is XXXXX XXXXX perhaps I can assist you with this issue.
What is the make of your jack legs? That will determine how hard this is and the cost.
Some say right on the legs or you should have a manual on them that came with the coach. They could be Atwood, Lippert, RBW or Venture units. Get back to me with this and I can assist you further.

O.K..............that is what most 5th wheels have. Those legs aren't that hard to replace as they clamp into the U mounts using two carriage bolts. You may have to cut the damage part off in order to get it out. Some installs drop down from the top out the bottom and some you have to pull out from the top. You have to disconnect the bar that connects them first. Most just use a bolt and nut, but some use a drift pin or roll pin that has to be driven out. Those legs run about $300 give or take. Shop around as the price varies. American RV online is very competitive. Atwood makes several models so be sure you get the correct one.
Hope that proves helpful here. Please get back to me if you need more as all follow ups are included in our fee. No limit as to time or number of responses needed. Please don't forget to rate this response when I have fully addressed all your concerns related to this issue. I don't get paid for my time otherwise. Thanks!
