Looking for a new electric tongue jack for my Jayco travel trailer. Any thoughts on brand, model or even where to buy at a good price.

Ultra fab & Husky get the best reviews and I have friends with both. I always check rvpartsoverstock.com first they seem to have the best pricing, I bought a king pin stabilizer for my fifth wheel from them.

I bought the Husk HB4500 last summer and am very pleased with it. Got it delivered from Amazon for a total of $211.93. Installation was very simple.Husky 4500# jack from AmazonI will tell you to get a larger capacity jack than you think you need so that you're not overly working it. If you used the jack to raise the rear of you truck some to hook-up the WD hitch, you're lifting more than just the tongue weight of your trailer.Bill

I fitted my hand jack with a coupling nut and use my 20V driver drill to raise and lower. Worse case scenario I can raise and lower with a ratchet if necessary. I have a phobia of leaving electrical components to the weather.

Any thoughts on brand, model or even where to buy at a good price.Last year I replaced the LCI tongue jack that came with our Coachmen with an UltraFab 3502. I chose the UF because I had owned one previously, preferred the all metal construction, and the fact that by loosening the four head bolts I could rotate the head 180 degrees and thereby avoid the truck tailgate. The internal design of the UF has changed so rotating the head is no longer possible without completely disassembling it BUT it now does come with extra holes in the base plate so it can be mounted so the head is sitting 90 degrees to either side. Since I'm normally standing on the street side of the trailer when operating the tongue jack that's how I set it up.Many tongue jacks will have a plastic head cover, either white or black, that in time will discolour and deteriorate from exposure to the elements, particularly the sun. Even though mine is all metal I also keep it permanently covered with a purpose designed UltraFab tongue jack bag.When selecting any tongue jack make sure you know the size of hole you have in the trailer A-frame, either 2" or 2.25". Most are the latter, including mine, but since the UF 2502 has a 2" lower shaft I built a support bracket using a piece of hardwood.One caution - there are plenty of much less expensive look-a-like tongue jacks for sale online of eBay, etc, that you'd swear are UltraFab but in fact are not. JMO, but you usually get what you pay for and I expect this will be the last tongue jack I'll ever own. ;)
