I trust the technology exists to make a jack motor weatherproof?
My camper is out in the elements all year, and even if it wasn't, it doesn't just rain here outside the camping season. Now if I need to keep the camper out of the rain year-round, my camping experience would be somewhat diminished.
In all seriousness... I had a seized HJ motor after the second winter on our previous camper. For our 2017 Northstar, I decided against electric jacks. We do not load/unload often, and when we do, we now use a Makita cordless drill. It cost about the price of one replacement motor.
