Hi Michael, I'd be happy to help with that. By the way, I love the Flying Cloud. The etrailer Electric Trailer Jack, Part # e33KV, is exactly what you need for your Airstream Flying Cloud 23FB. It has a 5,000 pound lift capacity, which gives you plenty of lifting power with a nice safety margin, so the motor doesn't have to work as hard as a lower capacity jack.

The best part is that it's a straightforward replacement. It uses the standard 2-1/4 inch outer tube and the common 3 bolt A-frame mounting pattern, so it will bolt right into your existing jack mount without any modifications. One feature I really like is the included foot tongue weight scale. It makes it easy to check your tongue weight before you hit the road which is very helpful.

Out of curiosity, are you replacing the original factory jack, or did it fail unexpectedly?
