I am looking to install an electric jack and remove the manual jack I have on the front of my 24' Arctic Fox. I would like to buy one that is reliable...any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Reliable AND if possible doesn't interfere with the truck's tailgate. Unfortunately a lot of power tongue jacks have excessively large heads that do interfere with a truck tailgate ... this past summer I replaced my LCI tongue jack with an UltraFab 3502 which not only has an all metal head but which has additional holes in the mounting plate that allow turning the jack 90 degrees to the side, thereby maximizing clearance between the TJ head and the truck tailgate.



If size and cost aren't an issue you might also want to consider a Husky HB4500R remote controlled tongue jack ... sweet! :B

Buy any of the name brands, they all do what they're supposed to (go up or down when you push the switch) reasonably well.

Barker, Ultra Fab, BullDog and Husky will probably be the names you hear the most.
Barker has great service, BullDog has long warranty and Husky is getting very popular. Just get a big enough one keeping in mind that you are raising the back of the TV as well. 3500lbs. and above is what I like.

We have had two...both were absolutely problem free.
Atwood and Barker.
