hi there!
was just doing a little work around the place and checked over the camper. its fairly new 2002 hawk that i put on my F350 long box... ill attach a picture, picked up used in december and have since put probably 20 nights or so in it, i love it.
i had to take the jacks off to take an old camper to the dump and when i put them back on my FWC i noticed that on all 4 of the jack mounting plates the top and bottom bolt attaching them were loose, tried to tighten them and they were stripped or the backing bolt had come off, not too sure which. i was in a hurry to head away to work for a month so i am wondering if the previous owner had over tightened them? i installed and removed my jacks a few times with an electic impact wrench but have never touched these bolts.
the plates are still tight although one i think has 3 bolts loose i am not too sure what to do here to get them secured again. any ideas? im sure its strong enough when i put the camper on my truck i remove the jacks however just knowing that it is the way it is really irritates me!
thanks!

edited to add that its on the side of the plates that has 5 bolts in it not 4? i was in a rush so i didn't really get too good a look
