This is what I'm thinking of getting. What do you all think? The weight is 1000lbs each and the camper weighs around 1800.

Those will likely work but for the extra $125 I would buy the heavy duty ones. That is what came with my new to me Alaskan. The jacks need to be raised to the maximum height to be able to get the camper on the truck. At that height the camper can sway a little so I am glad to have the stronger jacks.

Buy FOUR of the Reicos.....

i just purchased 4 heavy duty Rieco-Titan with extended #! brackets. I know it's overkill but I'll never have to worry about dropping the camper. Btw, I officially bought a 1964 10' NCO today that is in immaculate condition.  Now all I have to do is figure out how to get it to Kansas.

I bought 4 of the Rieco Titan heavy duty stands with the extended brackets. 2 of the brackets bent the first time I used them. I called them today and they are sending me 2 new brackets. In fairness, they said what caused the bending was when I did not bolt the extended brackets on a bracket that was supposed to have been furnished by Rieco. They didn't send the camper brackets so they're sending me 2 new ones. I have to pay shipping but I'm okay with that.

While it is possible to load with two jacks, it is way safer to use four.  Dumping a camper would likely permanently damage it (I’ve seen Alaskans for sale with crushed corners), and could badly injure someone.  

 

When I had a 10’ CO, it took six jacks to clear the fenders on my Chevy dually, as I had to reposition front to back as the truck backed under the camper. 

 

Loading my 8’ NCO on my 2001 Dodge 4x4 requires “4 blocks on the jacks to gain enough height.

I'd like to know the company shipping your Alaskan. I bought one in Minnesota and need to have it transported to North Carolina.
