We have an Atwood on our 2014 R-Pod.  It started out new on a Dutchman TT that we eventually transferred to our 2010 pod, and then to our 2014.  We have had no problems with it and, yes, it will bolt into the same mounting holes as the standard pod's manual jack.]]> Sun, 04 May 2014 18:57:08 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4682&PID=45534#45534 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4682&PID=45531#45531 Author: CharlieM

I never put one on the Pod, but I have one on the Camplite. Barker was my first choice, but it didn't fit. Check the plate where the jack fits onto the tongue. The Barker has a round plate; the Atwood has a triangular plate. The Barker interfered with the coupler mounting bolts. Check the plate on your manual jack. If it's round the Barker will probably work. Either way the Atwood should work. My Atwood works great and sure is easier. Installation is a snap. And yes, you get what you pay for (YGWYPF).]]> Sun, 04 May 2014 18:41:26 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4682&PID=45531#45531 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4682&PID=45527#45527 Author: Kickstart

Operating the tongue jack on the new trailer is a two hand job, and unfortunately right now I'm kinda one handed (long term rotator cuff surgery rehab). I've never had an electric jack before, but now looks like the time. I don't want a Harbor Fright quality one, So Atwood, Husky, $ Barker, etc.? Anyone have any experience or advice, as this is new territory for me? I don't want to break the bank unless necessary, but ya know--buy nice or buy twice!]]> Sun, 04 May 2014 18:16:56 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4682&PID=45527#45527
