I did some research on your 2009 Keystone M-19 travel trailer. It looks like the base weight of your trailer is 7615-lbs and the tongue weight is 750-lbs. Those weights could change when you have the trailer loaded and ready to tow.

The A-frame electric jack I recommend is the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000. This is a drop leg jack and it has an 23-inch lift, capable of handling 5,000-lbs. The easiest way to run the power to the jack is to wire it as shown in the attached installation video. They are using the power from the vehicle wiring harness to power the jack.

If you are mechanically inclined, this is actually a pretty easy installation as you can see in the video, but it never hurts to hire a professional to do the installation.
