2020 Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) CAMP-X pop-up slide-in pickup camper (renamed "Back Country" as of 2023)

My Dewalt is inadequate...

Then just stick with your manual crank. Opportunity for a bit of exercise, about the same speed as using a drill (if you take it easy like you should in this case), and you can feel when each jack is really taking on weight and move to the next one. All pros!

So I removed our Camp X for the first time last night. I have your normal Dewalt 20V Max 1/2" drill and was having a ton of trouble getting it to work as soon as the jacks starting really lifting the front or weight of the camper. Is an 1/4" Impact acceptable or a better option since there is more torque? I can't see where Rieco says you shouldn't do this, but just curious on other's experiences on this.

Either you had the drill on the fast setting or your drills bad or your battery is bad. I've used a DeWalt before with zero issues. Even my clapped out Milwaukee will do it. I would try a different battery.
