We have a Lippert jack too, and needed to do the same grind a little of the triangular base away. Everything works! did the wiring and we are good to go camping. It will be nice to lower the tail gate and it makes it easier stepping over the trailer tongue while camper is hitched to the tow vehicle. I am very happy with the Jack-E-Up thanks again Jholler for posting about it.

Yes, I got the universal one for top handled jacks. On the Lippert electric jack I did have to grind away just a little of the side of the triangular jack base for it to easily go in and out of the adapter.

I have dual propane tanks, and did not have to move them. David and Danette is right, put a 12oz can next to your jack, if it will fit then the adapter will fit.

We bought the universal for a electric jack and a triangular base mount. The base mount by what I could see is the main difference weather it is round or triangular. I watched a manufacture video and they showed if you can fit a soda can between your jack post and your propane tank the adapter will fit. I hope this helps.

Does the installation require that the propane tank be moved? It looked like there is not enough room to mount the base plate unless you move the tank further back. Can anyone confirm this?? Thanks Vann

Very cool indeed! Always have to have the wife hold the tailgate if I need something out of the truck bed. I like this!!

We purchased the Jack-e-Up, found a used one on amazon.com in warehouse deals. Purchased a 10 gauge wire connector at the same time. Sounds like a good idea hope it works out OK. Thank you Jholler for your post about the Jack-e-Up.

On my cargo trailer I had a local welding shop fabricate a jack mounting plate rearward of the existing plate, about 9 inches back, and that allows the tailgate on the truck to come down without interference.
I'm thinking of having this done to the pod, but the propane tank will also have to be moved rearward.
