How to Determine the Lift Capacity You Need in a Jack
A trailer jack is designed to lift the tongue of your trailer so you can connect the trailer coupler to your hitch ball. To do this, you'll need a jack with a lift capacity high enough to handle your trailer's tongue weight.
Tongue weight is the amount of weight that your trailer applies to the back of your tow vehicle. Typically, your tongue weight should be 10-15% of your total trailer weight (trailer + cargo). In other words, a 10,000-lb trailer would have a tongue weight between 1,000 lbs and 1,500 lbs. For a trailer this size, you would need a jack with a lift capacity of at least 1,500 lbs.
It's okay to have a jack with a weight rating that is higher than your trailer's tongue weight. In fact, a jack with a higher lift capacity should operate more efficiently, allowing you to spend less time cranking and more time camping.
Trailer and Camper Jack Lift
Every jack offers a certain amount of lift or travel. Screw travel is the distance the jack extends when you crank it (or toggle it to "extend" on an electric model). Some jacks include a drop leg for extra adjustability. On these jacks, you'll see the maximum extension of the drop leg listed in the specs as well. Adding the screw travel and drop leg travel together will give you the total lift. The total lift listed above can help you determine how high this jack will be able to raise your trailer.

The bull dog electric tongue jack is awesome. I got it in white to match my trailer. I unbolted the old jack and bolted on the new one in about 5 minutes. (I had my coreless impact gun.) Total install time was about an hour mainly because I wired the jack to my battery inside the trailer that runs the electronic winch and I had to run a separate ground from the battery to one of the mounting bolts for the jack with a cut off switch. So far it works great but time will tell. I'll be using it a lot more next year.
by: Charles03/23/2023
Excellent customer service and followthru by etrailer. Jack is well built and easy to install and use. Would definitely add a flat washer under the bolts to prevent the lock washers from getting drawn into the oblong bolt holes when torquing them done.
by: Barry10/01/2022
Easy installation, works well for my 7000# trailer. The LED light is a nice touch. Rasies it easily. Super helpful customer service and fast shipping as always. What more could I want? Thanks Kathryn & etrailer!

Great jack. Just what I needed to allow my tailgate to open while hooked up to my travel trailer
by: Peter 09/25/2022
A powered trailer jack is in my opinion, one of the smartest thingsthat can add to a trailer. After one year of use the Bulldog has been trouble free. I would recommend it highly.

Works great, easy install

The Bull Dog electric trailer jack was delivered in 2 days. It took about 30 minutes to install and works great. I look forward to the next trime I use the tariler.

If I dont keep it covered,rain causes the light to barely glow even when turned off. To protect battery charged, I cover the unit or disconnect the positive lead from the battery. Other than that, it is a labor and time saver. I have recommended it to other people.
by: Kevin 12/13/2020
Smooth and quiet! Simple install. Replaced a 6 yr old Atwood 2500lb jack that still works but not making good sounds. Time will tell how the Bulldog holds up. Thank you etrailer for the purchase and shipping, well done!

Perfect!
by: Jeff 09/22/2018
It was time to replace our old, failing, struggling, fuse blowing Jack after a weekend of hand cranking it. I picked this product because the company is local just a couple miles from the house and comes with a 5 year warranty’, if I ever have any problems with it. A real no brainer. Works like a charm! thanks e-trailer for great delivery and price.

Still running strong No issues
by: Rick F05/16/2017
One year later and still going strong. I keep the jack covered most of the time, but still looks like new and has never had an issue, ever. I should have bought this years ago and it's a wonder why some RV manufacturers don't include this out of the factory! Thanks etrailer for a great deal!

Electric jack seems to still be working well - it does seem to draw quite a bit of juice though, even on two new fully charged deep cycle batteries I notice my converter needs to work a bit to recharge while boondocking.
by: David 07/16/2023
Just as described. Easy install, big improvement, good communications and fast shipping. A+
by: David F06/08/2020
I replaced the unit which came on my new Winnebago trailer because it projected too far toward my tow vehicle and the lift gate wouldn't clear. Fit the mounting holes and works smoothly and because of the compact power head, my liftgate clears by almost two inches.
by: Mike 12/11/2020
Arrived quickly, box was a little smashed but unit was ok. Installed same day as delivery and I added an in-line covered fuse. Works great and pretty quiet in both directions. This fit between the A-Frame and my "Jake It" bike rack with 3 inches of clearance. Only problem with the bike rack installed is that you can't access the manual lug ( not enough clearance between the bike rack and tongue jack). And if the Bulldog power jack goes on the blink or the batteries die, I can't imagine how I will lift the trailer on to the ball. But that is another story. If you don't have a bike rack then no worries. This power jack is very sleek and the build quality is top notch. I love the light up front, its very bright. Thanks etrailer.

I received my electric jack from UPS in a box that was barely still together. Fortunately, the jack was not damaged. I took three bolts out to remove the old jack, dropped the new jack through the hole where the old jack was, replaced the three bolts in the new jack, bolting it to the trailer frame and the new jack was installed. This was one of the easiest installations of a piece of equipment that I have ever installed. It all fit perfectly. All I have left to do is hook one wire up and I am finished. Initially, I used the auxiliary manual crank to raise my trailer and it was very easy to crank. Great product.
by: Pete 12/20/2020
The Bulldog was purchased as a gift for my son, so it has not yet been mounted to his trailer. With that said, this power jack looks to be built solid and I see no reason why it wouldn't do what it is supposed to do.
by: Jason 09/02/2021
This was a great purchase! I use it with my MAXD car hauler. It is SO much easier to use this after a long track-day when your arms are like jello and your hands wore-out from the death-grip. What a great product, and the outside illumination helps a ton with the backup camera when hitching up in the dark! Very well built and sturdy. It took less than 45 minutes to install and wire into the power from the vehicle over the harness.
by: Donna L04/26/2019
Very pleased. Arrived here in California in the estimated time. Product was self-installed, very close fit, minor adjustment on our existing propane tanks. We did upgrade hardware (bolts and nuts to grade 8), a standard procedure for us. So far works great, very quiet, love the 5 year warranty on this product. Time will tell how well it lasts, this lift was a 1000 lb. up-sizing for our travel trailer.
by: BG06/25/2016
Easy to install and hook-up. Sure saves the hand cranking. Suggest this to replace your Hand Crank trailer jack.
by: Wayne O.08/18/2017
Received order on date as promised. Box was a little beat up but product was fine. took off old hand crank jack and installed new Bulldog power jack. It was a cinch to install and took no time at all. The jack sounds powerful and moves at a snails pace but works very well as is intended. I would highly recommend this to anyone who still has a manual crank. Another fine product from etrailer , thanks for the excellent service.
by: Dave 10/04/2021
A little hard to install as the mounting brackets were not the same. After two days of cutting and fitting all worked fine...Nice jack!
by: Frank 04/25/2020
Install was a breeze! Well built and great price! It has a perfect speed for extending and retracting. I have tall propane tanks so if I have to use the manual crank they get in the way but it will still work, just slow going. I’m a welder so I extended my crank so it’s above the tanks. I would buy this jack again in a heartbeat!
by: Gary H05/24/2017
It's been a year since I purchased the jack fast dilivery easy install works like a charm can lift trailer and truck to install torsion bars with ease
by: ed06/09/2014
installed no trouble to be safe I installed a inline fuse and a tago switch so no passer by can run my battery ,and it added a little more wire to the to short wire installed to the motor
by: Johnny S.04/29/2019
Worked good for about 7 months. Then just quit working. I use the jack everyday running a bread route.

The jack is covered by a 5 year warranty. Ill have our Customer Service folks contact you about warranty service.
by: Earl B04/01/2014
It show up much faster two days. I removed the old lift and installed the new bulldog on the trailer. It is very quiet and worked very will . It was just what I was looking for. The hold thing took about 20 to 25 Mins.

See what our Experts say about this Bulldog Camper Jacks
- Is Additional Plunger Pin Needed with the Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack BD500188The snapper pin that comes with the Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack # BD500188 that you have would be sufficient to hold the drop leg to the outer leg of the jack. You would not need to replace it with a plunger type pin.
view full answer... - What Gauge Wire is Used on the Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack Part # BD500188The Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack part # BD500188 has a circuit breaker built into the jack therefore you will not need to install one in-line to the battery. The jack also comes with about 55" of power wire to run to the battery but if additional wire is needed you will want to use a 10 AWG. The jack is grounded through the mounting hardware therefore you will not need to run a ground wire.
view full answer... - Does The Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 3,500 lbs Ground ItselfYes you are correct, the one wire is a power wire. As far as a ground, as long as the jack is securely mounted to the frame of the trailer it acts as it's own ground. The jack has its own circuit breaker so if there was a short or power issue you would have to use the the manual crank until the power issue has been corrected.
view full answer... - What Maintenance Is Needed For Bulldog Electric Trailer JackI checked out the instructions on a Bulldog Electric Jack, part # BD500188, we offer and in the maintenance section, they say that the jack is sealed and maintenance free. The instructions say to periodically check the mounting hardware for proper torque and tighten is necessary. They do say that it is important to maintain the electrical system including the battery and charger and that all connections are free of rust and corrosion.

- 3500 lb Powered A-Frame Jack Recommendation for RV that Weighs 4,400 lbsFor the price range you listed the Bulldog jack part # BD500188 would be the best option.

view full answer... - Powered A-Frame Jack for Making Raising and Lowering Trailer Jack EasierI am surprised we haven't had that question before but surprisingly not.

This is a very reliable trailer jack that not only operates quickly but also fairly quietly. This is available in white or black # BD500187. This jack has an LED light to assist with coupling and uncoupling your trailer as well. In the event that your trailer battery loses power, this jack comes with a...
view full answer... - Replacement Drop Leg and Pin Kit Recommendation for a Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack # BD500188Yes, the Replacement Drop Leg and Pin Kit for Bulldog Powered-Drive Camper Jack # BD500190 that you referenced is the correct replacement part for your Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack # BD500188.
view full answer... - Comparing the White and Black Bulldog Powered A-Frame Trailer JacksBasically the finish is the difference between the Bulldog Powered Trailer Jack # BD500188 and # BD500187. All of the other specs are the same or within a fraction of an inch (the only one that is different is the retracted height which is 1/4 inch off between the two; still well within the margin of error). If you need a black finish to match the trailer or you just like it, go with # BD500187. If white is more appealing, go with # BD500188. Both jacks are highly rated by customers so...
view full answer... - Are Replacement Shafts Available For A Reese 3,500lb Electric Trailer Jack Unfortunately this isn't a replacement part that we currently offer so the only option I can recommend would be to reach out to the manufacturer or replace the entire jack. If you want to replace the entire jack then you can with part # BD500188.
view full answer... - How to Manual Raise and Lower a Bulldog Powered A-Frame Trailer JackIt depends on which Bulldog powered A-frame trailer jack you have. For example, # BD500200. has a cap on top and you can use a socket wrench and socket to manually crank the jack up and down. Jacks # BD500187 and # BD500188 come with a handle. But both of these have a cap on top that you will remove to access the manual override.

I went down to the warehouse to measure the inner diameter of the crank and found it was exactly 0.5 inches. This crank is a direct replacement for models Bulldog Power Jacks # BD500187 and # BD500188

- Availability of Replacement Manual Crank Handle for Bulldog Powered A-Frame Trailer JackAre you speaking of a Bulldog Powered A-Frame jack like part # BD500187 or # BD500188? If so, the replacement crank is part # BD500203. If you're speaking of a different jack, I'd be happy to look for a replacement manual crank handle if you could provide the part/model number of the jack you have.
view full answer... - Replacement Circuit Breaker for Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack 500188The circuit breaker that is used in the Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack # BD500188 that you referenced is rated for 30 amps and has an automatic reset feature. To replace it you can use the Pollak # PK54530. I reached out to my contact at Bulldog who said that there isn't anything special about the circuit breaker so the Pollak one will work perfectly!
view full answer... - Availability of Replacement Leg for Atwood Power Jack AT80718The leg on your Atwood Power Jack AT80718 is not replaceable and since this jack is now discontinued by the manufacturer, the only solution is to replace it with a new jack. For a comparable jack, my expert recommendation is the Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack # BD500188. It features the same 3,500 lb capacity as the AT80718 but offers you a 22 inch lift which is a few more (3) inches than your current jack. It has a retracted bracket height of 9-3/4 inches and will work perfectly on...
view full answer... - Power Trailer Jack Recommendation for a 2012 Keystone Outback 280RS Travel TrailerI looked up your trailer online and because of the limited clearance behind your factory original jack, I would recommend going with the Bulldog Powered Jack, part # BD500188. This jack has good clearance for your propane tank cover and has a 3500 lb capacity. This is probably more capacity than you actually need, but when it comes to trailer jacks, overkill is a good thing. Using a jack that has a higher rating than you actually need means that the jack won't need to work as hard, and...
view full answer... - Location of Fuse on Lippert Components # LC285318 Powered A-Frame Trailer JackIf you follow the red power wire, you'll locate the fuse holder which is installed inline on the wire. The jack uses a 30 amp fuse. Check your connections to the trailer mounted battery, to ensure everything's connected correctly. If the jack is powered by the 12-volt accessory circuit from the trailer connector, use a circuit tester on the pin in the 1:00 position in the 7-way connector on the vehicle. If you're not seeing power on that pin, you'll need to check the fuse or circuit breaker...
view full answer... - Can Leg on 4000 lb Powered Trailer Jack Be Replaced If it's the drop leg like # BD500190 that's bent, you certainly can replace it if it's not bent to the point where you can pull the pin and slide the drop leg out. The # BD500190 would be the proper replacement for a Bulldog # BD500185, # BD500187, and # BD500188 powered A-Frame jack, or a jack that would accept a 1-3/4 inch diameter drop leg. If the leg that's bent isn't removable, then you'll need to replace the jack. I'd recommend the Bulldog # BD500199 which has a 4000 lb lift capacity...
view full answer... - Replacement Manual Crank Cap for Bulldog Powered Trailer Tongue JackFor a 3500-lb Bulldog powered tongue jack with a top manual override crank you can use replacement cover # BD500201. This fits jacks # BD500187 and # BD500188. I have also included a link to our main page for all replacement parts for Bulldog jacks.

With that said I recommend the Electric Jack w/ Footplate - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 25-1/8" Lift - 3,500 lbs - White # EJ-3520-WBX instead as it offers 3-3/8" more lift while still having the same 3500lb capacity.

You technically could connect the Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 21-3/4" Lift - 3,500 lbs - White # BD500188 to your vehicle lights, but we do not have the connector you would need to just plug into your tail light plug. I have a solution for this though. You can get the Lippert Power Stance Electric Trailer Jack w/ 7-Way Plug - A-Frame - 18" Lift - 3,500 lbs # LC89VR.
