Hey Ed, so the electric trailer jacks are all going to have way more capacity than needed for your 400 lbs of tongue weight so I would pick a trailer jack based on different criteria. Instead I would go with the Phoenix part # UF38-944040 as it can raise and lower in a matter of seconds instead of having to wait around like most of the other jacks that are quite a bit slower.

We have an option that also has a remote to control it with the part # UF38-944055 but it does cost more.

If you were wanting something that was just solid but not expensive at all the etrailer part # EJ-3520-BBX would cover that. Its going to be a lot slower but it will do the trick for a lot less money.

Hey Ed, how did the Phoenix power jack work out for your travel trailer? Your experience could help others trying to decide between the faster Phoenix option and the more budget-friendly etrailer model.
