Electric tongue jack recommendations
Went to use the electric tongue jack on my TT, it started, spit a bunch of water out of the housing and died. This is a no name brand I bought off eBay about 6 months ago and have used about 6 times. ...

my one comment. if the tongue is very heavy, look for a jack with a ball screw rather than acme thread. ball screw mechanisms are more robust, have less friction and are usually better quality.
I have a barker jack on my smaller trailer and it's been reliable now for 14 years, sits in the rain in the wintertime with no ill effects.
the big trailer with 1500lb tongue weight has a 3500lb atwood acme screw jack. It's lasted 8 years, does the job, but it lets you know the combo of an acme screw and the tongue weight is a strain. Way more noise than the barker has.
