Electric tongue jack recommendations.
The options are mind numbing... I currently have a 2K atwood side winder, works okay but I'm looking to ease/speed up setup/hookup. I would like a compact head for tailgate clearance, my WD hitch ...

Some are rather noisy, like our UltraFab. There is a fairly quiet one but can't remember the brand (Husky maybe?). Weight capacity isn't usually a concern as tongue weight is approx. in the 500 - 1200 lb range. Would be nice if our jack was faster but I don't know if any are. The UltraFab head is fairly compact.
The switches on the Atwood don't look very waterproof. We use a hood on ours and never take it off. Keeps the water off and it still looks like new after 2 years of use.
I can't remember the brand that came on our TT we bought brand new, but it failed within a few days and got replaced by the UltraFab. That'd be one I'd avoid whatever it was.
I'm starting to think maybe get a fastflip to make the quick up/down faster and stick with the manual.
Those fast flips don't really save you THAT much of set up time. Also, they're not recommenced for use on hills,due to the fact that the swivel joint (elbow) could fold up if your not properly chocked. They advise to just bend it at the elbow and set that down on a piece of wood. like if your kneeling.
