Take a look at these. This idea may be a little far fetched, but with your fab skills seems doable enough. Take the cheap 20" arm off and fab up a piece of tubing with a slot cut into it to accept the stabilizing arm of the jack. Drill a hole in the end of the tube for a pin and you could have an extentable jack for about 30"

1) They can get damaged on the trail
2) They need a lot of maintainence to work. The screw needs grease or it is a bear to crank, even with an electric cordless drill. But the grease traps dirt, which makes the screw a bear to crank. They may be okay on a rig that never leaves the pavement, but not for anything that will see dirt roads.
I had these on our 22' RV and I hated them. I much preferred the cheaper stabilizers.
The style Spressomon has are good, even if they are permanently mounted the screw is enclosed which protects them from dirt.
