Well I am sick of the Atwood landing gear breaking down on my so I ordered a set of Ultra-Fab's electric landing gear rated at 6Klbs per leg. Independent motors will make it nice.

Has anyone used these jacks? I hope they last better then the Atwood gear.

Gotem on our Carriage front and rear. Work like a charm. Just keep them greased. Be carefull when raising them up or they will NOT stop automatically.
Enjoy

Thanks Tootall. I got to try them out Memorial Day weekend and they worked great! Much better then the Atwood stuff that came on the 5th wheel.

The price was much cheaper than replacing the Atwood gear also...

I've got a plate, 6 screws and 6 pins in my left wrist. I've got two pins in my left knee. I installed the Ultra-fab on the front and rear of our trailer, and they work great. I even went for the remote control on mine. They will level the trailer as much as two inches side to side. Maybe more, that is the most I've used them for.

There are just some days that I can't work them darn hand crank jacks. These have made all the difference in the world. I've had zero problems with mine.
