Question:
Hello, I am seriously considering in purchasing the etrailer electric Trailer Jack e55ZV. My existing travel trailer is a 2021 Jayco Jay Flight 242 bhs and I will be replacing the factory installed FIC etj3500. In your opinion, would the e55zv be a good choice? Many thanks for your response in advance.

Hey Mike! The etrailer Electric Trailer Jack # e55ZV would be a great replacement for the jack on your 2021 Jayco Jay Flight 242BHS. This has the same lift as your existing jack but with a higher 5,000 lb capacity making it a nice upgrade. It also includes a cover to help keep it protected and a 2-year warranty.
Any big trips coming up this fall with your Jayco?
