Did a search for electric tongue jacks & found no results. I've had 2 UF 3500lbs jacks & have had failures with them both times & of course the warrties have run out. Would like to know if anyone has had any experience with the Bulldog BD500185? The specs seem OK. Thanks.

We have a Barker 3500 and have for years. No problems to report.

PS. I searched "electric tongue jack" and found about a gazillion posts. HMMM

Did you call UF? Those people will bend over backwards to get you back running including units that are outside the warranty period. These jacks are not all that complicated to repair for the most part. I have been using the same UF 3500 for many years. Switch broke after 4 years and UF gladly furnished another for free.

Electric tongue jack search. 254 posts over the past year. Take your pick.

Not exactly what you asked, but I have had three Atwood tongue jacks. Never a problem in the past 15 years or so.

Just put an Atwood 3500 on a new TT. Very impressed. Customer service is great too. I noticed after install that the light lense was cracked. Called Atwood and told them it didn't make sense to take it back off and ship it all the way across the country to the dealer I bought it from. They agreed and shipped me one out.
