Whats wrong with them?
I was having problems with mine and found that after I clean all the grease and oil off them and then re-oiled them lightly, replaced a worn washer and straightened the bent jack screws, they worked like new again.

I can see how that would be annoying! You can get an attachment for your cordless drill to run them up and down - that worked great for us but I can't help with the mismatched part.
Your timing is a little off, Camping World just got done having a sale on them.

I looked for over 6 months for a set of electric jacks. I found a set for $700, had to take the TC they were attached to to get them. Atwood power jacks, the manual switch type. They had never been wired up, I put them on the S&S and sold the Lance that they were on for $150, with my old jacks on it.

You could also look on Craigslist for a good used set of Hydraulic Jacks, I found 2 - like new Rieco Jacks for $100.00. I only wished that the seller had 2 more of them. Good luck on your search.

I have had hydraulic jacks on every TC I have owned. They would only be my choice if I could not afford elec jacks. I replaced the hydraulic jacks with a Stable Lift, and totally happy with them for over eight years.

I have had good luck with my Rieco/Titan Jacks in the past, and that is the type I just picked up two more of. Just keep your eyes open for the best deal. I have seen them advertised on Craigslist for a low as $25.00 each, mine I paid $50.00 each for, but they looked almost new. I know that new ones cost about $250.00 each. So, I'm not complaining. Good luck.
