I am sure I am preaching to the choir here but adding a powered tongue jack to my trailer has made life so much easier. If you don't have one, get it. You will not regret it.

Great folks to do business with and the power jack is fantastic. Wouldn't have a camper or TT with out one now,

| My Barker 3500 failed before my last trip. I had manual crank, until it finally failed, too. Passed a camping World on the way home and bought this unit. Hope it lasts better than the Barker. One thing I would note is that I had to wire the fuse into power cord; the Barker was already assembled. Make sure you have appropriately sized crimp connector, shrink wrap and a good crimper. A battery connector is nice for the end of the wire, too. I'm going to make sure mine is covered in the future.

| I found a great cover for mine at CW and I keep mine covered all the time. I don't even have to take the cover off to operate it.
