Ours came with a soft vinyl cover, which is nice because we can leave it on all the time, even when operating the jack. It never gets lost that way.]]> Fri, 09 Jun 2017 13:34:07 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10120&PID=94710#94710 Electric Tongue Jack cover : Originally posted by MadmojoHiWE... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10120&PID=94661#94661 Author: M0tl3y

Thanks

Yes, I put an old bucket on it. My neighbor liked my idea and puts a bucket on his. When the bucket sun-rots, just put on a new one. Cheap and simple.

It even keeps the tow chains off the ground and the tow chains stop it from flying away in the wind. Tongue

Mine came with a cover. That got lost when we had our accident in December. I forgot to put it back on after we got the R-Pod hitched to the tow truck that had our Escape on it. I found a replacement, but it was huge. I modified it to make it fit more like the original one. Once it is on and the cords cinched up, it stays on just fine. How durable it is remains to be seen. I just think the jack head will last longer covered than uncovered since it will keep the sun's UV rays from degrading the plastic so quickly.]]> Wed, 07 Jun 2017 21:50:48 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10120&PID=94615#94615 Electric Tongue Jack cover : mcarter,when I'm towing I... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10120&PID=94613#94613 Author: Oharley

 mcarter,
when I'm towing I don't worry about having it covered. I use the bucket when the trailer is parked. The bail on the bucket slips under the motor and keeps it from blowing off on windy days

I have the Stromberg Carlson jack. It looks like it is really sealed. The 2 toggle switch covers might were out but that will be from use. I have only had mine for a few months. Be interesting to hear others thoughts. ]]> Wed, 07 Jun 2017 18:32:08 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10120&PID=94596#94596 Electric Tongue Jack cover : HiWE had someone suggest that... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10120&PID=94595#94595 Author: Madmojo
