tongue jack

How many of you out there have rotated your electric tongue jack 90* so that that your trucks tailgate would lay down all the way if so did you rotate it to drives side or passenger side and why?

Do you use any kind of lubricant on the tongue jack screw? Not sure how I'd even access that except by opening the cap for the manual crank on top.... TIA

Good day all, wondering if anyone's had to replace their power tongue jack drop leg due to rust or damage? Mine was badly rusted so I ordered one on Amazon, it works but appears to be a bit too tall. Unfortunately my son threw the old one away w/o measuring it, wondering of someone could measure...

I have a new Rockwood 8256KBS trailer. The battery is dead and needs to be charged. When I plug in the trailer the jack still doesn't operate, but light works. When a technician used a jumper pack on the battery, the jack worked. My trailer came with solar, but came with just lead-acid...

If my trailer battery is dead, should my tongue jack still work so long as the trailer is hooked up to the tow vehicle? Mine does not. It's a 27' forest river Boost toy hauler.

I installed a Weize 3500 lb electric tongue jack and it worked fine at time of installation roughly a month ago. Today I had to bring my Salem TT in for manufacturing defects and the jack didn't work. Battery was full and the TT hasn't moved from my driveway. I did have it plugged into 30A...

I'm trying to find a manual crank for my 2016 Keystone Passport. I don't totally trust the electric jack. Can anyone tell me where I can find a manual crank. The company that supplies the jack to Keystone doesn't have one. See pic...

Bought a used 2018 Jayco Octane 161. Pulling it with a GMC Sierra. Tailgate hits the tongue jack. Anyone else seen this issue with an idea of how to fix it? I've thought about relocating the propane tanks to the shelf to the right of the batteries and adding a bracket to move the jack...

I decided to turn the control head of our Lippert tongue jack today. What I found when removing the control head is that the front and back untapped holes are no longer there! This is a 2021 model, so sometime not too long ago they stopped drilling the spare holes. Luckily I have all the...

Just installed a new tongue jack and a new battery to my tt. The jack works very weak and dies for some time until next try. I just plugged and play since I got the same tongue jack. Not even connecting the truck wiring improve the jack. Only works right and strong with the shore power. Where...

I'm having issues with the inline fuse for the tongue jack...it's the glass tube type and keeps cutting out. Water and corrosion are the problem...I've taken it apart cleaned/sprayed contact cleaner on it and it works fine for a while. I'm thinking of removing it and soldering in a 30 amp mini...

2018 Octane 161 -The tongue jack worked when we lifted the trailer off the ball hitch. Quit working after that. Light flashes sporadically. Battery is at full charge. Any suggestions?

I have to replace my tongue jack, the original had one wire and the replacement has two. My question is, does it matter where I ground the new one? The frame, battery, or?

Hello All, Recently our electric tongue jack (FIC 3500) started spinning when we raise or lower it. Works fine if I hold it to keep it from spinning otherwise, it just spins in place. I’ve done a couple searches on the web and can’t find anything that describes my problem. Anyone out there...

So tonight I’m dry camping in a Costco parking lot. Found a spot that is pretty level side to side but LevelMatePRO says I needed to raise 4” in the front. I used my bulldog 4000lb electric tongue jack to raise until level while still connected to the truck. (Can’t really unhitch in someone’s...

Hi all, I’ve been reading through auto level issues on here. I haven’t found any information quite like my issue, so hoping someone might have an idea for me. Got the new cougar out for the first time ever, got unhooked, hit auto level and after the front jacks came down I got a “left rear...

I am new to the forum and a new/first time trailer owner. We love this trailer however have an interesting issue that appears to be somewhat different from other posts I have read on this forum. I am having a power issue on our tongue jack. It is the FIC model. We went on our first trip and...

Hi . We are totally Newbies ... We have a 2016 Bullet 251 RBS. We need to buy an electric jack and we are looking for recommendation . Thanks

We have the 7.1 BAL auto level which uses a fairly standard electric tongue jack. I noticed recently that during retraction (after hooking to the truck for example) there is a fairy large spot where it really struggles, grinds, and works hard to keep going. It eventually gets to a good point...

About halfway through our 2-month virgin trip with our new-to-us 2014 22RBPR the retract function of the LCI jack switch started to get intermittently temperamental indicating that it was on its last legs and needs replacing. LCI has a detailed video on how to replace the switch that involves...

Picked up the Tumbleweed from storage and brought to house to winterize, jack worked fine. Got to house was going to disconnect but it wont go down feels like a binding issue. Hand crank does not work either Electric motor turns freely ( I took the head apart) It all seems to be in the actual...

Our Ultra 3002 electric tongue jack quit suddenly and we think the inline glass fuse is blown. Does anyone have a link to instructions or a video on how to access and replace the fuse? We can feel it, but are not sure how to get to it. I'm hoping to get some guidance before we muscle it too...

Re 251RBSWE . For some time I've been frustrated that I can't drop my tailgate when the trailer is attached because it hits the motor housing on the tongue jack. Real pain if I've forgotten to load something in the bed. However, it appears that if I rotate the jack and housing 90 degrees, the...

Hello All! My manual tongue jack has seen better days and needs to be replaced. Thinking of going electric. I have a 27' 2017 Outback. Dry weight 5600, loaded up 6500 max. Any recommendations on electric jacks?

Hello all, I have an older 2000 Jayco Qwest pop up camper that has a basic tongue jack with no wheel or footplate on it. I've been having it rest on a solid wood block when camping but if ever I need to move the camper around a bit can't without hitching it up. The problem is i've tried...
