Question:
The Lippert electric tongue jack on my travel trailer is starting to give me trouble and I'm looking at replacing it instead of repairing it again. Will the e72QV work as a replacement? I have a standard A-frame trailer and it has the same 7 pin connector. Thanks.

Hello Scott! Yes, the etrailer Electric Trailer Jack # e72QV can replace your existing Lippert electric jack. It has a 3,500 lb lift capacity, 18" of powered travel, and another 9-3/4" of adjustment from the drop leg. It bolts onto your standard A-frame and gets its power by plugging directly into the tow vehicle's 7-way.
If you would like to be able to check your tongue weight while loading the camper, we also have the new # e28KV. It uses the same 3,500 lb jack setup but includes the tongue weight scale. A SnapPad # SN47FR is also available if you want to add that as well.
