Received and installed from Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Fab-Products-38-944037-Electric-capacity/dp/B00C5II192

Installation was less than 30 minutes (includes time to stabilize trailer) and works like a charm.

Makes life easy and now we are ready for our fist trip (maiden voyage).

I should receive one today from Amazon (UPS says it is on the truck)that claims to be a bolt on:

Ultra-Fab Products 38-944037 - Ultra 3502-7 Electric Tongue Jack with 7-way plug
$139 and no tax with free shipping from the factory

I went with this model just in case the RV battery is not strong enough to do the work? I have 5 disc at base of spine out of whack and this will be useful!

We will be going on our shake-down cruise tomorrow morning with a brand new 2015 R-Pod 172!

Thank you to those of you who recommended the Atwood Power Tongue Jack.

I ordered one from Amazon, it arrived in two days, and took me about 20 minutes to install.  It is literally
a three bolt exchange.  (I still have to crimp on a battery terminal connector and tie-wrap the cable,
so I guess that will be another 10 minutes or so....)

Supporting the trailer during the exchange was as simple as using a trailer dolly to take the weight after
making sure the wheels were chocked. Easy!
