The advice and knowledge on this site is great. Rv_tech helped me on my trailer 7 pin wiring. I need to buy one of those jacks!! My crank jack on my big trailer is gettin old. I assume there is quality electric jacks and crappy ones out there? Get what you paid for type of thing?

Something in the area of 3,500-4,000 pounds, which is usually what I suggest, is in the area of $300 MSRP. Shop around and see what you can find.

I agree absolutely!! IMHO you cannot be too careful if you are wiring or lifting anything. If you try to skimp in either case, you can injure yourself or someone else. Fires and crushing injuries are potentially devastating. Rant completed.

another update,
finally got around to trying to get power from the 12v supply in the 7 pin plug on the truck to operate my new power tongue jack.
well it lights up the 2 little lights on the side of the jack just fine. but as soon as you try to engage the jack up or down nothing happens and the little lights go off until you release the switch.
so i guess i will just rob a battery from my camper until spring since i wont be using it anyway and put it in the tool trailer. that way it will still get some charging when i use it.
now my question is, i need to use that same 12v hot wire as my charge wire correct? thanks everyone..
