Electric tongue jacks

[VinnyP]

Getting tired of cranking, decided to go with an electric jack. What does everyone recommend in the 3,000 or 3,500 lb range?

The Husky is VERY quiet. Much quieter than any other I've used or heard. But it's still noisy enough that in a quiet campground it'll probably be heard by anyone awake or possibly wake a light sleeper.

The Husky really is that much better than anything else I've tried. Including the Barker it replaced. I'm pretty impressed with it.

Another vote for Atwood. I purchased mine from Amazon. Uses the same mechanism as on my truck camper jacks. I've had three truck campers with Atwood power jacks and they've performed flawlessly. My current TC is 20 years old and the jacks work fine.

Remember on a TC there are four jacks, one at each corner, and typically they will be each lifting 1000+ lbs.

Barker are the best. Many others also work.

I like your way of thinking,sir!

Thanks for all the info everyone. I'll put it on my Christmas list and see what Santa brings!

We had an Atwood Robofoot 4K lb model on our last tt. Worked great!!! IF I could have swapped it to our new tt I would have, but the timing didn't work out. That model has a 5yr warranty also!!!

There is a 3K lb model, but the drive isn't as good. Bought the 4K lb model from Etrailer. Shipped very quickly!!!

Attwood. The Northwood dealer (Nash/Arctic Fox) that I've spent a lot of time at looking at rigs highly recommends the Attwood jacks, which Northwood uses at their factory too.

I've got the Barker 3500 hi-power and love it and, there customer service is top notch!

The above will work fine. Be sure and cover it to keep the rain and snow out.

I run what most might very well be the cheapest option out there for a power tongue jack. A full year of heavy use, its been great. Not a single hiccup.

Jack Quick brand on Amazon

LOL! I doubt I'm stronger and pretty sure I'm not younger. I just updated my signature, the 2012 is a fiver, the jack is for the 2015 Mini that we got last year. It only took me 2 seasons to realize that all that cranking is for the birds!
