Modern problems.
Makes me glad that I have a 40yr old trailer with original standard manual jack and it still works..
That's the way my Dad felt until my brothers graduated high school and he had to do the cranking.
Of course, sounds like the electric part of the OP's unit is fine but the gears are failing (which can happen with a hand crank unit).
My Dad's after market unit was working fine 20yr on when he passed away and we sold his trailer. I had a 20yr old 5th wheel with the original electric motors.
If yo like exercise, go for it but assuming you don't abuse it, reliability isn't a big selling point for going manual.
