It's a power tongue jack, and yes they have a manual override. It's a crank handle and an adapter366Views0likes0CommentsRe: Old Trailer Fix Ups...
Put the battery on a battery Tender whenever it's not in use. It's much better than a once a month charge. http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=battery+tender+chargers&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=31138155410&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16902698790253116111&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_6pv2hovikz_b804Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tools?
I went out for week and after set-up and turned on the refrigerator on gas and nothing. After removing the panel outside, I found a squirrel had been working on a nest and chewed all the wiring. My brother was well equipted with lots of electrical repair parts and 30 minutes later it was good to go. I had to cover the roof vent with wire mesh to keep the critters out. Another time I was pulled over for no lights. Needed a spray cleaner for the electrical connector between the TV and TT. Just basic tools is all that's needed.342Views0likes0CommentsRe: LED replacement for trailer tail light

The bulb seems to be a 3-in-2 design with two filaments (brake, turn and regular light). Thx. I purchased my two-way 1157 replacement from Superbrightleds.com ... I can't bring up the site right now or I'd link it for you. It has a "head" that rotates 180 deg, so I can regardless of how it bayonets into the socket, I can aim the light outward. It's bright and then gets even brighter when the brake / turn indicator function is called for. I'm sure there's one on a popular auction site, direct from China for under a buck, but I'm happy with the one from superbright. Only downside, the left hand tail light has a clear window in it, so the light also illuminates the license plate with white light, well, now that light is red. I see that on a car they recommend a special flasher to get the turn signals to flash at the right speed. I wonder on a TT if that is needed? You would have the vehicles tail lights to give you the required resistance after all. \ Not needed on a TT as the TW already has the correct resistance and the TT is extra load.239Views0likes0CommentsRe: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos
I painted my 4 way lug wrench a different color on 3 ends. That way once I find the right size to use for a wheel R&R I can quickly use the correct 'color' after setting it down and changing wheels then picking it up again. I also painted the lug bolts the same color(orange and they're behind a hubcap) as the correct size and since I use the 4 way on my stabilizers, I painted those heads as well (white).307Views0likes0Comments
