Powered Trailer Jack Recommendation for Skyline Koala 24RBK Travel Trailer
Question:
I have 1500 sierra GMC and Skyline 24RBK, what would you recommend for a powered jack.
asked by: Rich N
Expert Reply:
According to my research, the GVWR of the 24RBK is almost 6000 lbs, which means that in the worst-case scenario the tongue weight would be just under 900 lbs.
When you're choosing a powered jack, I'm a firm believer in overkill. Choosing a jack with a much higher capacity than you actually need means that the jack won't have to work so hard and should operate more reliably in the long run. The Bulldog # BD500187 would be an excellent choice. The jack has a 3500 lb capacity, which is more than you'll ever need.
I've linked you to a product demonstration and an install video.
