Question:

I want to buy a power trailer jack for my travel trailer. Which one do you recommend? I have an 2008 Aerolite 24RB-SL made by Dutchmen. Dry hitch weight is 492 lbs. unloaded vehicle weight is 4209 lbs. GVWR is 6000 lbs. I was leaning toward Husky, but I would consider other brands. Also, what would you recommend fo clip on mirrrors for a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500?

Expert Reply:

The Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000, would be a fine choice for your trailer. The 5,000 pound capacity is more than enough for the gross trailer weight of your Aerolite. And the mounting pattern is standard for A-frames. You will just need to make sure the hole for the jack leg is 2-1/4 inches for this jack to fit through.

For custom fit towing mirrors for your 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 take a look at the K-Source mirrors, # KS80700. These mirrors slip over your factory mirrors and add increased visibility behind you. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.
