Small Powered Trailer Jack Recommendation for Tailgate Clearance
I have a few different options for you and it all depends on what you're wanting out of a trailer jack for your 2017 Forest River Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 2703WS. The absolute best clearance you'll get is with the Trailer Valet JXC Trailer Jack w/ Footplate # TV94FR because it uses a hand crank, but then you can use your drill then you want it to operate faster. Using this means you don't have to make connections to your trailer battery plus you won't have the trailer jack motor...

Determining If Provider ST205/75R15 Wheel and Tire Combo Will Fit 2015 Forest River Rockwood TT
Based on the information I was able to find on your 2015 Rockwood Signature Ultra Light Travel Trailer it likely came with 15" wheels and ST225/75R15 tires. If that is size of your current tires then the Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Tire w 15" Viking Aluminum Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR C - Black # A15R45BMMFL will fit just fine as they have the same 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern as your current wheels.

Troubleshooting Lippert Ground Control System Where Jacks Are Retracted but System Says they Aren't
Yeah that is frustrating. It sounds like the module maybe needs to be reset. Try cutting all power to it and then powering it back on and see if that helps. If that does not fix the problem it would be time for a new module with the part # LC304136 that you referenced.

Best Replacement for the Lippert Smart Jack Electric Trailer Jack
The Lippert Smart Jack Electric Trailer Jack part # LC643589 is a good innovative option with memory features but it does have a design flaw in my opinion. The touchpad or controls are on the top of the jack. The reason that this is a problem is because the seals around the controls break down over time and water gets inside ruining the jack. This could be attributed to rough use, bad seals, but the touchpad being directly on the top of the jack means water can come straight in as opposed...

How to Determine Correct Disc Brakes for Trailer
Where there are no specific fits for your trailer, there are disc brakes that can work. You didn't say if you were looking for slip-on or complete hub assemblies, but I can help you out. For slip on rotors, you just need to know your brake mounting flange and hub's wheel bolt pattern. For example, the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 12" Rotor - 6 on 5-1/2 - Stainless Steel - 5,200 lbs to 6,000 lbs # K2R526S requires your axle have a 5-bolt brake mounting flange and a hub with a 6 on 5-1/2" wheel...

Rear Hitch Solution for 2018 Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 8329SS

The Furrion Propane RV Range # FR97KR does require 12 volt power for the ignition system on the stove top as well as for ignition and temperature control on the oven.

Is One of Side of Trailer's Bearings More Likely to Fail than the Other
The side of the trailer does not usually influence the likelihood of trailer bearing failure. Neither the driver or the passenger side of a trailer is less likely to fail over the other. Most likely you just had bad luck and the fact it both times on the driver side was coincidence. Ironically what typically causes bearing failure is putting too much grease in the hub using either an EZ lube fitting or Bearing Buddy which causes the seal to fail and then the bearing soon there after. I...
