Great question, Bo!

The Self-Contained Hydraulic Jack # e33VV does not have a traditional manual crank override.

However, it does have a manual override function built into the hydraulic power unit. If power is lost, you can manually operate the override to retract or extend the jack.

The manufacturer recently clarified this, so we'll be updating the product page to reflect that information.

It's still recommended to power the jack from a properly charged, full-size deep-cycle RV battery, as it cannot be powered through the trailer's 7-way connector.

Are you planning to use this on a travel trailer or a fifth wheel?
