Re: [VAC] Electric hitch jack

Hey Polly,

Everyone should be ready to use your system.
Sooner or later, electric jacks crump out
for one reason of the other. It may be so 
simple as a stripped gear ($30 for new one)
or the engine dies a final death (big bucks 
for a new one). 

Each of our electric jacks has a special 
handle that can be inserted and used to 
raise or lower the tongue, but how it is 
accessed is different on each of them. 

An ordinary 1930s bumper jack (worm gear type) 
works in a pinch. It was especially convenient
when I backed downhill into a campsite and 
couldn't get the front end up high enough
to release the hitch ball. 

Polly, you brought up a good point. It does
pay to have redundancy for such times when
the things don't go according to plan.

Terry
