Powered Jack Recommendation for a 5,000 lb Travel Trailer

Question:

Im trying to decide which power jack to install on my travel trailer/camper. The camper weight is 5150 lbs. Would a 4500 lb electric jack be sufficient or overkill? Thank you.

Going with a powered a-frame jack that has more than enough capacity like the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer
Item # JET-5000 will benefit you in that the jack will raise and lower quickly without any strain. The capacity of your your jack is based off of your tongue weight which is 10-15% of your trailer weight. This # JET-5000 has a capacity of 5000 pounds which would be more than enough for your trailer. Going with a higher capacity than you need makes the jack work easily and quickly. It also prolongs its life.

I would highly recommend this jack. We have a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it.
