    USA Electric tongue jacks.....

    Ok gents, which route would you go?
    Wired directly to battery or
    the plug (7 pin) into truck trailer hookup...
    The manual cranking is getting old!!!!

    My .02 is make sure you get one with a dedicated positive and negative cable. The jacks that ground to frame without a negative can get hit or miss! I also would not skimp I would get one with more load rather than just enough!

    Thanks for the input gents!
    Went w a Smart Jack from Lippert Components
    3500 lb tongue weight, direct wire to battery, internally grounded.

    Will be installing a shut off switch so Jack won't drain battery (comes prewired w a 30 amp bladed fuse)
