I just bought a Pacific Coachworks Powerlite xl 27ft. This is a dandy trailer and I like it ver much. One problem, The scissor jacks are real cheap. Mine came rusted and no amount of WD-40 and lithium grease would make them work smoothly. The trailer was made in March of 2013. The threads are real fine and it takes forever to lower and raise them. I had to use a 1/2 ratchet because the crank they supply kept striping out. Not the jack but the socket on the crank. Replacing them is going to cost me around $350.00. They are Welded on. I called Pacific Coachworks and told them about the problem. They were polite and agreeable and gave me the number for the jack manufacturer. I called them and they offered to send me another one of the same make and model. I have refused and am buying my own. With that exception this appears to be a very nice and well-built trailer
