Expert Reply:
The etrailer brand # e69ZR jack you'd looked at would be a fine choice. The remote control is a nice feature and the fact that the jack plugs right into the 7-way trailer connector to operate would make this a very convenient choice. If you won't be using the trailer on a weekly basis, this is the option I'd recommend.
If however you'll be using trailer more frequently, you'll be better off installing a battery on your trailer and using it to power a similar jack like # EJ-3520-BBX. You can use the 12-v feed from the 7-way trailer connector to provide a maintenance charge to the battery, but you'll need to use shore power and a quality charger like # 329-GENIUS10 if the battery gets depleted.
I've linked to product videos for the products mentioned above.
