Electric tongue jack
I have a 2014 Keystone Passport 238 ml. I am thinking about buying an electric tongue jack. I know the one in the link below is more than I need but I would prefer too much than just enough. Can any...

I have your same trailer, 2012 model. I have a Barker 3500. Has worked wonderfully, even though I bought it used. Real back saver.
One thing I would advise you to be certain of is buy one with the longest throw you can. Mine is an 18" lift and I wish I had one that was significantly longer (22" maybe). If the parking spot is lower in the front than the rear of the trailer (which seems to be the norm for my camping spots) the amount of boards needed to build up the area under the jack can be significant. Usually 3-4 2"x8" boards do the trick but there have been times I needed 6 or 7. Having that extended reach of 4" on the longer extending jack would eliminate much of that issue most of the time.
Instead of using all those boards to raise the front get one of these jack stands. I have used mine for the past 12 years without problems. If you need more height than that, just put a couple of boards under it.
