electric tongue jack

[charlie51]

I was looking into buying an electric tongue jack for my 310QB. It weighs about 5400 lbs. What is the best lifting weight to get. I have seen several ranging from 3000 to 4000 lbs. Would the 3000 lbs. be enough?

That should be plenty. Your tongue weight is only a fraction of the trailer's overall weight. Most of the weigh is carried by the axles. I say "go for it". Make sure the bolt pattern and overall length of the jack is right for your RV.

Charlie -

Can I ask what brand/weight you went with? I am considering the same.

Thanks!

3000 should be good. I put a 3500 on my motorcycle trailer. The construction difference was enough of a reason and the cost difference was minimal.
Got mine off ebay, just looked for the right price with good feedback.

You will be glad you put one on.
