So Im tired of the crank to raise and lower the tongue every time I go camping

. Im looking to get a Electric Jack

. I have read several Threads on them on what brands are the best, but I didnt find anything on lifting capacity. I have 23 ft Toy Hauler, I do not know the tongue weight I just know what the sticker says inside 10000 gross, fully loaded. I have seen 3000lb, 3500lb, 4000lb and 4500lb of lifting power but not sure what I should get

. I was thinking of getting the 3500lb one.
Can any one chime in and give me some input, or advice.

Thanks

I have a small Barker 2500 that has no problem lifting the whole back of my truck if the coupler is stuck and my GVW on the TT is 11,500 lbs. For your size of trailer just about any jack is going to work great.

I use a 3500 for my 10k GVWR trailer. The bigger the better IMO

A 3500# powered tongue jack should do the job fine. We have a Barker 3500 and it easily lifts our 32' TT and 3/4 ton TV.

I would recommend the 3500, either the Atwood or Barker. You might get a bigger TT in the future then you can put the crank up back on and put the 3500 on the new TT

I agree
I have an Atwood and not sure of the size, it stalls if I need to lift it near the upper limit to get the coupler off the truck without letting the air out of the "bags". If I don't have the Rhino in the cargo area, it won't come close to getting high enough to unhitch.
