Our new toy hauler does not have an electric jack and after raising and lowering it several times when we brought it home I decided that adding one would be a good idea. After several days of research (and not really learning anything) I have narrowed it down to these 3:
Bulldog 500187 about $155 (uses one connection to the rv battery and apparently needs no extra fuse) 5 year warranty
Big Horn which uses a 7 pin connector to the tow vehicle about $140 1 year warranty
etrailer jack connects to rv battery about $107 90 day warranty
Any input on any of these? Or any other ideas? I would like to keep it below $200 if possible. Thanks

Any will work and will make your life easier, only question is how long will they work? For a big, heavy toy hauler, I think the Barker is the way to go, but it will bust your $200 budget.

There is only one wire for hookup which will have an inline fuse. The jack is grounded to the frame. Just don't take any electric jack to the up or down limits as it will overload the motor and blow the fuse.

Many 3500 pound jacks for under $125 and they do the job. Mine is 4 years old now.

SKU: 18-279-I
0 / 0
Description: Ram Electric A-frame Jack - EJ-3501-BBX - This 12 volt electric A-frame jack features a 3,500 lb lift capacity, 18" of travel, durable black powder coat finish, LED light for easy night time use, removable sand foot and a crank handle for manual override in case of power loss.
Most an any brand will work - Installed a couple but make sure the jack will fit, then keep a cover on it should last as long as the TT. I spent several hours grinding on the first one I didn't measure.
