I've been thinking about adding a power tongue jack to our HTT.
One of the reasons we went away from our pup was to get away from cranking up the roof. Now I've found that I have an issue with geting the HTT hitch and TV to the height needed to hook up the WDH without straining my arms or the WDH bars to a point where they can be easily hooked up.
A friend of mine has a big TT with a power tongue jack that makes the process much simpler. Does anyone have any insights to a good quality power jack that would work well with a 4100 pound Htt with approx 475 pound toungue weight. Our Tv is a half ton pick up so we need one to handle both HTT and TV. Would like some suggestions but if more info is needed please feel free to ask.
Thanks
hi buddy,

I've used Atwood and Barker Jacks. They are decent power jacks.
However, I've been using the Bull dog Power jack for my most recent trailer.
It works the best and has a five year warranty. something the others lack.

Wow Bikendan, you got lucky.
I forgot all about the Ultra Fab (Chinese) jack I had. It lasted just past warranty. I replaced it with a Barker on a previous trailer.
When I started having trouble with the ultra fab, I went on the camping world site and found out I was not alone.
Here are some reviews on Amazon.

The Atwoods and Barkers seem to be decent products, but the Bull dog had at least three years more warranty.

Thanks for the replies. Does anyone have a recommendation on which of the weight limit specifications I should be looking at. Again HTT is approx 4100lbs, Tongue weight is approx 475lbs. TV is a 1/2 ton pick up.
no need to worry about weight limits, since there's no hybrid made that even the lowest end power jack couldn't handle.
bikendan is correct. Any of them will do.
2500 lb, 3000 lb, 3500 lb, 4000 lb.
The bigger ones seem to be built a bit better and certainly more heavy duty as well as a few more features..
You have a new HTT and if you plan to use it a lot and/or plan to hold on to it for a long time, I would get the best one you can afford.
At the lower end new discounted ones are a bit over $200 and the higher end new discounted one are around $300.
