Features to know about

Raises Your Trailer in Seconds: 12-Volt Electric Lift with 3,500-lb Capacity

Getting your trailer hitched or unhitched is quick and easy with this powered A-frame jack. The 12-volt motor lifts up to 3,500 lbs and extends 6" in just 41 seconds with a 1,000-lb tongue weight. Flip the toggle switch and let the motor do the work—no cranking or sweating required. The helical-cut gears mesh smoothly for quiet, efficient operation whether you’re setting up camp or heading home.

Built to Take on the Elements: Heavy-Gauge Steel and Powder Coat Finish

This jack’s heavy-gauge steel construction gives it the strength to handle real-world use and heavy loads. The black powder coat finish resists rust and corrosion while the textured housing protects internal components from chips, cracks, and fading. It’s made to stay solid and dependable through rain, dust, and repeated setups all season long.

Easy Setup Every Time: Bolt-On Design with Smart Mounting Pattern

Installation is straightforward thanks to the standard A-frame mounting flange. Just bolt it down, connect the red wire to a grounded 12-volt power source, and you’re ready to lift. The bracket height ranges from 10-3/4" retracted to 28-3/4" extended, giving you a full 18" of travel for smooth leveling on uneven ground.

Keeps You Moving After Dark: LED Light and Manual Backup

A downward-facing LED light built into the front housing makes it easy to hook up at night or before sunrise. The on/off toggle controls the light separately so you can see exactly where your coupler lines up. If power ever goes out, use the included emergency crank handle to operate the jack manually—simple backup peace of mind when you need it most.

It’s working just like the day I install it just fine



by:

Just received today and installed, seems to work smoothly and very quiet.



by:

Love it! No more hand cranking. Installation was a breeze. The trailer tongue has nut plates so it was a easy swap. No extra wrench to loosen the bolts.
I just crimped on a connecter on the end of the power wire, ran the wire through the factory clamps of the camper and put it on the positive side of the battery. Done! I kind of wish it had a slow and fast speed but no biggie. I really like the LED light on the front with its own switch. It adds to the “wow” factor. Thanks again etrailer! I never shop anywhere else.



by:

Easy to install and works every time



by:

My electric tongue jack arrived in two days, was easy to install and makes hitching an unhitching so much easier.

I’ve not had any problems in a year of constant use. This was a great purchase.



by:

Just installed it and it was easy and works with no issues. My only dislike so far is the light...Not very bright and just seems useless. Connected directly to battery (pos) but people must know that the ground is the jack itself and must be installed first then connected to the battery.



by:

Great to have instead of a manual crank but is a bit slow. All in all happy to have an electronic



by:

I believe this is a much better jack then the first one I purchased from you a few weeks earlier! The one with the adjustable leg was a poor choice since my driveway has a very big slant to it. But in all honesty, I was making it work ok, till that is Camping World burnt the motor out on it and bent the leg! It is my word against theirs though, so I just went ahead and purchased this one with the more stiffer leg mount. I can see why camping world has so many dissatisfied/complaining customers!



by:

My battery keeps draining, and when I called your office for help, no one answered. That is why I am not satisfied with jack and service support service.



by:

The bolt pattern matched my trailer so it was very easy. No skill needed. I soldered a connection on and hooked it directly into the battery. I had to drill a hole for my foot extension. So far so good. 23 foot travel trailer.

I wish I would have purchased it the same day I purchased the trailer. It’s super!!!



by:

Very helpful assistance to determine the correct replacement jack. Quick delivery and extremely easy to install.



by:

This my third one. I have one on all my trailerd



by:

I like how easy it is to turn the head sideways to clear the tailgate easier. It would be cool if it was quicker, but not a big deal. Easy installation



by:

The installation went well. The only thing was that the box must have been stored in a storage building. The reason I'm saying that was the box was covered all over in thick dust. Maybe, before you ship out have someone dust off. Shows you care. Thanks



by:

Easy installation and appears to be working well thus far. It has
Only been installed for 2 days, only used once.



by:

Yeah it's slow, but it does the job it is designed to do. What's the hurry? Straight forward installation.



by:

everything went smoothly. easy ordering fast delivery and installation instructions were right on



by:

Exact replacement when ours died. Easy enough to replace. Good choice! Working well for these weekend warriors!



by:

Nice design, easy to install. Works fine. Downgraded to 4* because identical previous unit that came on my new trailer only lasted 3.5 years with moderate use. Also, I noticed a competitor had a bubble level integrated into the housing. That would be an inexpensive, nice upgrade for future models.



by:

Works as good as the original, if not better. Great assistance by the eTrailer support folks.

@Mav That's great to hear the jack is still going strong for you, Mav!


by:

The product seems very well made. The only problem I had was the shipping company. The box was soaking wet and it didn’t rain here for two days so I’m not sure how it got so wet and the light is full of moisture hopefully everything dries out but it does work excepted



by:

Great replacement. Shipped on time at a reasonable cost. Installation, easy, operation, smooth and quiet.

Glad to hear it was an great replacement! What kind of trailer did this go on?



by:

Installation was quite easy, and worked as well as it can. However, the big plus is the redesigned manual wrench. The old speed handle was tall and awkward. This new half sized works much easier. Yes I used it as almost faster than the 41 seconds for 6 inch movement.



by:

Well-made nice quiet and powerful jack. Easy to install. I would recommend changing the design and turning the motor assembly 90 degrees to allow for opening the tailgate. I turned mine 120 degrees and filed out one hole to adapt it to the tongue of my trailer and it worked great! Performance wise; so far, so good. Thanks for your awesome customer service and helpful videos!

Glad you are liking it so far, Scooter! And you aren't the first person to say something about the head of a jack needing to be pointed in a different direction. The 3-bolt pattern typically requires no alteration to rotate jacks, but it isn't 100% universal and does require alteration to do that on occasion. Been a while since I heard someone needed to do that though. What kind of trailer did you install this on?

  • Tailgate Clearance With Lippert Electric Trailer Jack
    I have a solution for your clearance issue, but the Lippert Jack # LC285318 cannot be rotated. You can get a bit more clearance by using a longer ball mount like this extra long ball mount # D-26. It measures 12-5/8 inches from the hitch pin hole to the ball hole. This will give you more clearance. You could always rotate the whole jack, but you will have to drill some holes and may need to use different hardware depending on your trailer. Obviously you will have the switch and light facing...

  • Troubleshooting LED Light on Lippert Power Tongue Jack LC285318
    I have to agree with you that it sounds like something is wrong with your Lippert powered tongue jack since the courtesy light should go off completely when the switch is in the off position. I suspect that there is trapped water inside the switch that is both maintaining a connection even when the switch is off and also preventing full power from reaching the light when it is switched on. You can try removing the cover/switch panel to allow that moisture to dissipate. This will best...

  • Troubleshooting Power Jack for 2023 Outdoors 26KVS-T RV
    Hello Herb! It's possible you'll need to replace the jack on your OutDoors RV, but let's look at a couple of other (cheaper) potential solutions first. Just based on those symptoms of struggle when trying to extend or retract the jack, I'd first just check and make sure the battery it's hooked up to is healthy and fully charged. See if you can test the power wire coming from the battery to make sure you're getting 13+ volts right at the battery. If you're getting anything lower, you likely...

    Hey Blake, thanks for reaching out. We should definitely have an electric jack for you, but I don't have a way to look up your camper online to know exactly which one will fit. RV manufacturers just aren't that specific with their online literature. Basically the big thing we'll need to nail down is the coupler height on your trailer, and the amount of lift you need. A very popular option that works on most trailers is the Lippert Electric Trailer Jack # LC285318. It has 18" of total...

  • Troubleshooting the Lippert Electric Trailer Jack Part # LC285318
    There is only one wire that needs to be connected on the Lippert Electric Trailer Jack part # LC285318. This is the red 12 volt power wire that will need to be ran to the positive terminal on the battery. I cannot be sure as to how the junction box you have is ran but I recommend removing that from the equation and attaching it directly to the battery to see if it powers on. If it does then there many be a short in the wiring to your junction box. If it doesn't then this could either mean...

    Hey John, thanks for reaching out! To replace the Bottom Jack Cover # LC23UD on your Lippert Electric Tongue Jack # LC285318, you'll need to remove the 4 bolts that hold the top to it, then remove the 2 screws that hold the motor to the vertical tube. You'll also need to disconnect the wiring to the switches, motor, and light, so I recommend taking a few pictures with your phone and/or making a schematic of your own to make it easier when you go to replace everything.

  • Troubleshooting Electric Trailer Jack That Wont Work When Plugged Into Vehicle Trailer Connector
    I'd recommend using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test the pin in the 1:00 position on your 7-way trailer connector. This pin provides the 12-volt power to the trailer. If this circuit isn't active, how you'll proceed will depend on the vehicle make and model. If the vehicle has the factory tow package, there's likely a fuse in the panel in the engine compartment that's blown or missing. Using a trailer mounted battery is the preferred method of power a trailer jack. Because...

  • How to Remove the Housing from Lippert Electric A-Frame Trailer Tongue Jack
    I went out to the warehouse and pulled a Lippert jack # LC285318. Based on what I saw there are screws that enter from the bottom half of the housing and hold on the top part of the housing. These very narrow holes will require a long and thin phillips head screwdriver. I made a video for you showing the locations.

    Hey James, yes the Lippert electric jack part # LC285318 would be a great option to replace what you have now. It grounds through it's mounting hardware so you would just need to run a power wire to it's red wire and you'd be set!

  • Troubleshooting Lippert Power Jack that Will Not Lift or Lower

  • Do Powered Jacks Only Need One Wire Ran to Them
    Most trailer jacks like the Lippert # LC285318 only use one wire. That wire provides the power and the assembly grounds through the mounting hardware of the jack. It's hard to tell what's going on with the electric tape and splice connector I see on your current setup but new jacks would only need one wire.
