Replacement Electric A-Frame Trailer Jack for a 9,000 Pound Dutchman Travel Trailer
Question:
I need to replace my electric tounge jack. I have a 9000 lb -31ft Dutchman travel trailer that reads 4400 on the side of the a-frame where the old crank jack used to be. What size electric jack do I need?

Expert Reply:
A 9,000 pound trailer should have a tongue weight of 900 to 1,350 pounds, maybe a little more, so any jack that has a capacity higher than the tongue weight would work. But the higher the capacity of the jack the easier it will be for it to lift the trailer and the longer it will last.
That is why I recommend going with the Lippert # LC285318 Powered A-frame jack. It has 2 toggle switches for operation. Jack has a retracted height of 10-3/4", an extended height of 28-3/4", and 18" of travel. Extends 6" in 41 seconds with 1,000 lbs of tongue weight.
