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! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BUIRWY8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BUIRWY8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ------------- Bob and Joyce Jennifer and Baxter, the Campin' Cocker Spaniels RP 177 "Key Pod" Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT / Z71 |

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! BnR |
