How Does Your etrailer Jack Hold-Up Against Rust and Corrosion with Harsh Winters?

Question:
How will the etrailer jack hold up to the elements? We have harsh winters with road salt so I’m wondering if it will rust right away.

Hello Andrew,
Great question! Our etrailer jack # e55ZV has a nice powder coat finish which is great for rust and corrosion. Where the manual crank is, it is has a tightly fitting rubber cover to keep moisture and outside elements where they belong... outside. My favorite feature about our jack is that it comes with a canvas cover for the top portion to help with those harsh UV rays to avoid fading and cracking, and even bad weather as well including the salt from the roads.
After you get things all set up, please let me know how you like it.

Hey Andrew, how did the etrailer jack hold up through your winter conditions? I’m curious if the powder coat and rubber cover kept the rust away like expected. Your update could make it easier for others dealing with road salt too.
