My new Coachmen came with an off brand jack that doesn't even have limit switches to stop the motor when it reaches the end of it's travel.
Off brand? :h AFAIK Coachmen still supplies all their trailer lines with an LCI Power Tongue Jack, the same supplied with my 2014 Freedom Express. While it worked OK the black plastic head cover faded easily from sun exposure, as does every other black plastic tongue jack regardless of make, and the head was so large it interfered with lowering my Silverado's tailgate fully. I replaced it with an UltraFab 3502 which is all metal and has holes in the base plate which allow mounting the jack with the head facing 90 degrees to the side, the result being I can now lower the tailgate fully. :B
The jack on my Catalina is a RAM brand jack. Never heard of 'em. Label says "Best Value In The Industry". Translation: cheapest unit around. It also says Made in China.
