I had a Barker 3500 on mine and loved it.

Hi Rpodders,

Thanks for your replies. Is there any brand that out performs the other and reasonable in price which you recommend in for electric jacks ?   Husky, Barker, Domare, Lippert, etc. ?   Thanks for your input.

Bought one at the beginning of last season and then wondered why I waited so long. No more cranking ! Install is simple and takes less than 15-20 minutes.

We have an MPG which is very similar to the Rpod.
I did a lot of research before I purchased our Barker VIP-3500; It appeared to be the most popular and most reliable.
 
Ours has been trouble free for a year now.
 
Do a search on the RV.Net forums and you will see how many folks have it.

Dockguy - Smart thinking. My wife and I both have disc problems in our lower backs and neck. We got an electric tongue jack for our 177 and it makes a world of difference.
 
This is the first one we bought. I was looking for one that was lightweight. However, it only lasted for about 4 outings.
 
 
We had the RV dealer put on a new one but I don't remember what make/model.
 
Also, for your back, if you're not already doing it, use a rechargeable electric drill to put your levelers up and down.

Hello to all Podders,

I recently hurt my back and herniated a disc. I was thinking that an electric jack on my Rpod171 would help ease the pain as I recover. Does any one have an electric jack on there Rpod ?   How does it work for you ?   



Thanks for your input...
