Anyone have any suggestions or comments? Help a girl out. Thanks Do you know the tongue weight of the trailer? That would help in determining if you can get away with the lighter jack or not. Call Dusty @ Johhny walkers Flamingo/Bldr hwy location and ask him for some advice. Tell him you know me and that may help. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakster884 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Will the electric jack work with the plug in the tow vechicle running? should do the trick. Not sure though do not have one myself. Let us know what you end up getting and how it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know what you end up getting and how it works out. Electric jacks will run off the trucks 7 pin connector if the trailer batteries are dead. They also come with a hand crank that goes in the top and you can manually lower or lift the trailer. Not much effort involved and a hell of a lot easier than the old style crank type jacks.

lvnalolife Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I got the heavier duty one from Camping World for my big a$$ trailer. Works great. Was under $300 if I remember correctly. They have a cheaper one of the same manufacturer that I think would work fine on your trailer for a lot less. Give me a call if you need some help putting it on. I have a Camping World Club Card if you want the discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it might be pretty easy to swap out. Just a few bolts, but I may need help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
