Manual stabilizer jacks with a drill
I had an extra cordless drill laying around here and thought I'd put it in the TT. I also took the bit out of my socket set thinking I could just use that to move the stabilizer jacks. I soon realized...

I've got the Camco adapter and it works fine with my 18v Dewalt, but just be certain that the stabilizers are all the way up when you are done raising them with the drill. One time my battery was not well charged, I used the drill to raise the stabilizers and didn't look carefully. The front right was still a ways down and I wacked it off when coming out of a driveway. I now double check with the manual crank.
One little tip that will keep you from having to pull out your hand crank is to have your 5er (or TT, whichever the case may be) fairly level side to side. Get it close to level front and back. Lower the front end just a slight amount then run your rear jacks down to the ground. Snug them with your drill, then extend your auto front jack back down to level front to back and tighten the rig for the duration of your stay.
Reverse the steps to let them back up.
