There's a power circuit on 7-way trailer wiring that you could use to power electric trailer jacks like part # SC63VR. While we don't have a diagram that shows this exact connection its really just a matter of running 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 from the power wire of the jack to the pin of the 7-way in the 1:00 position and you'd have the needed power for the jack.
