That works for me. :C .... but I still have the pipe "just in case" ...

I was shown how to use the pipe to raise mine. takes about 1 second. don't know why I would mess around with tongue jack,etc. I was warned to stand off to the side in case the pipe comes shooting out. :)

Well, this old back doesn't take to bending and lifting more than needed so I stand and put my finger on the electric jack lever and watch the scenery while the tongue rises, less than a minute. That also confirms that the latch is secure on the ball. Heard enough stories about the latch not being secure.

Whatever floats your boat, not a "right" or "wrong" way to do it.
