Look up a product called Jack-E-Up.  I don't have an electric jack but this sure helps get the manual one out of the way. And one can step over the tongue easily..  I have had it for a year or so, and really like it.  It does not slip when loaded up.]]> Fri, 29 May 2020 16:15:24 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13582&PID=131756#131756 Electric tongue jack. : I tried to take my manual lever... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13582&PID=131729#131729 Author: Rana

I tried to take my manual lever off and found that it appears the locking washer is welded to the shaft. Did you have the same issue, or was yours just held in by a split pin or tab washer? I called my dealer and they said that some of the later models of manual tongue jacks have the washer welded in to prevent accidental disengagement of the crank handle under pressure. Apparently the washer can be knocked loose with a "cold chisel", whatever that is! Like all quick and easy fixes, there is always a Murphy hiding somewhere! I'll find a cold chisel and try it. Thanks again.]]> Fri, 29 May 2020 11:06:42 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13582&PID=131729#131729 Electric tongue jack. : Thanks very much, that looks like... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13582&PID=131569#131569 Author: Rana

Thanks very much, that looks like a good idea, and definitely affordable! Not sure I have the tools or the expertise to cut the pipes off level, but will definitely look into it and give it some consideration!]]> Mon, 25 May 2020 17:19:08 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13582&PID=131569#131569 Electric tongue jack. : Why don't you just cut off... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13582&PID=131567#131567 Author: marwayne

Why don't you just cut off 2 or 3 " of both pipes. I had to do that with mine to clear it to get to my parking spot behind my house. Then I turned my crank jack to electric. Cost 1.50

I searched through the posts for the one that mentioned an RP179 electric tongue jack that almost fully retracted giving maximum ground clearance at the hitch. As we camp in the Rockies, and not all campgrounds are level, and even though we go slowly and carefully, we have snagged the odd piece of turf! My energy levels not being what they used to be we want to go electric, and would like a bit more clearance to prevent damaging the motor or gearing on a new electric tongue jack. Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Stay well and stay healthy in these difficult times.
