I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on buying our next TT. Many that we've looked at had electric jacks to level the trailer however the one we have decided on does not. That is a feature that I really like but I've been told that it's extremely expensive do install as an add-on accessory. The dealer suggests that I simply buy a cordless impact gun instead. Any recommendations on what brand I should buy? There is a huge spread on brands, models, size, and price. I don't want to invest big $$ a Snap-On tool but don't want to waste money on a cheap driver that won't do the job or hold up.

are you talking about an electric tongue jack or four corner jacks like on a class A? if tongue jack, don't let that sway your choice, they aren't that expensive or difficult to add.the talk about an impact wrench makes me think you are talking about the stabilizing jacks, NOT leveling ones. bumpy

Maybe this would be an option for you.http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/power-pack-for-scissor-jacks/37793#qanda

Those cheap electric jacks are called stabilizer jacks, not leveling jacks. It does not have the power to lift and level it. I have those on mine. It's the one that operates by a single button that lowers and raises left and right stabilizer pad at the same time. I have two of them, one for the front and one for the rear. The one that has to be hand jack at 4 corners are stronger and it can can lift and level it to some degree.

It takes me a whole 5 minutes (8 minutes if I am drinking a beer at the time) to set the stabilizers up with my old fashioned crank. I do carry a batter powered drill, but it is noisy and over kill.

When the cheap motors burn out you have to hand crank it anyway. IMO, the less to go wrong, the happier the camper. I use the manual hand crank stabilizers and the ratio works so quick I often do not bother using my portable drill.
