Availability Of Drill Adapter For Atwood MPD 86065 Electric Jacks

Updated 06/15/2026 | Published 01/20/2025

Question:

I have a 2014 Lance 855 Truck Camper with Attwood MPD 86065 electric jacks. I bought an Ultra-Fab Ultra T-Slot 49112 79071 UF48-97901 adapter from eTrailer, for my 3/8inch drill, because it was supposed to work with those jacks. But the bit is too large to fit in the hole for to raise and lower the jacks. The manual crank I have fits. But what size drill bit would I need to get to fit in the hole since the 48-97901 doesnt fit?

Hello John, sorry to hear the drill adapter is not working for you. Our records show your Atwood MPD 86065 electric jacks would use a drill adapter that is 0.53" in diameter. The # UF48-979071 adapter is more like 0.66" so too big.

We used to carry a 0.53" diameter drill adapter part AT85385, but it was discontinued back in 2017. So, unless you can find one secondhand, the only thing I can think of would be to have someone fabricate something for you. It would need to look something like the pictures below. I hope this help and feel free to reach out if there is anything else I can do.

Hey John, were you able to find or have a 0.53-inch drill adapter made for your Atwood jacks? Knowing what worked could help others trying to power those same jacks.
