I'm with Ulysse on this one. There's a huge difference between needs and wants. But if ya can afford a want... why not! I'm getting real tired of busting my knuckles on the propane tank when cranking the jack. I need an electric jack! (Any excuse will do )

I counted the turns on my jack from top to bottom. 200 turns.

When I went to install my WDH I had to move the propane tanks forward,

Oh darn I can't use that jack anymore and only had room for an electric jack.

How's that for an excuse ?

Hello Ann:
I see you are in Ontario.
I came across this, this morning, and it appears to be exactly what
you are looking for.
It appears to be a good deal.

Good luck with it.
Jake.

Ulysse, Donna, you'll love it...we just changed ours out last year, just because....worth every dime. After all why not get the little things to make life easier as you get older? You earned it! We went with a Barker VIP 3000

Inexpensive and Made in the USA!

BONUS: I'm sure it will broaden your resale market if you should ever decide to sell your rig.

Ann,
Are you looking for a motorized (electric) tongue mounted wheel to move your trailer into a tight spot?

If so, this may be what you want: http://www.eztug.com/ It is very helpful in moving our trailer to its parking spot at home, behind the tree, between the shrubs and avoiding the eaves of the garage, into a ridiculously tight spot to conform with zoning requirements .... impossible to back into because of angles, even pushing it with the atv. We usually take the wheel off (easily) when traveling, because the wheel extends out so far, and is cumbersome in tight turns.

Because of where we keep the trailer, and the fact that it took three to four people and thirty minutes to (manually) push it into its little spot at home, and our sore backs later, the ez tug was well worth its initial cost. We wired it to the trailer battery.

Thanks everyone!!
I think I'm going with the plain old manual wheel jack thinky that bolts onto the tongue never knew there were so many options
We use our Boler "wheelbarrow" as a tent on wheels so now we'll have one more wheel!!!
I don't need the manual wheel jack thinky but I do want one!!!
