We just bought a new TT and the electric jack is extremely slow.

If so, that and a piece of 4x6 will speed raising it.

I could save at least 45 seconds each setting up and breaking down. 2020 Keystone Cougar 22RBS, Ram 1500, two Jacks and plenty of time to roam!

I normally only have to lower the tongue a couple inches or so before it hits the block. I'm guessing it's about 12"x 12"x 10.5" high. I got tired of needing to stack wood when the jack was too far off the ground.

If distance, consider the Fastway Flip Jack extension. If speed of the jack, what's the make & model of the jack you have? 2012 Forest River V-Cross Vibe 826VFK pulled by 2009 Ram 1500 Quad Cab Hemi speediq99 • View posts Arizona Senior Member Joined: 01/17/2004 View Profile Posted: 04/23/21 07:49pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I will get back to you on the make and model. It is a factory Jack that came with our Palomino trailer. It is painfully slow. I had an Atwood jack before and that thing moved. I do have a 12 inch block to shorten the distance.

Pull the lever and it folds up out of the way.

If so you might want to run heavier wire and relays or heavy switches. wanderingbob • View posts monticeeo, fla Senior Member Joined: 07/26/2012 View Profile Offline Posted: 04/24/21 07:01am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Put heavier wire ?
