atwood tongue jack... do or don't

[coralcrazed]

I'm considering the purchase and upgrade of an atwood tongue jack.... should I do it for my 2720? I'm considering the 1500 lbs. jack which should be sufficient for this trailer.

I'm wondering if the manual hand crank comes in the package? also please offer suggestions and recomendations and any other info on the subject. thanks

If you use the tongue jack to lift the TV & TM to help set the WDH spring bars you should have a jack rated for 2500# or more.

Ok I'll look into the 2500 as long as there is not substantial weight differance between them. does the manual handle come with it?

as for the trial membership, I appreciate the reminder but I joined on the 25th of april so that means I have another week at least. thanks

Every one I looked at had one.

You may also want to look at Barker tongue jacks. I bought a new Barker 3000 VIP on ebay a couple of years ago and have been very happy with it.

Would definetly recommend 2500# or above.
