you would get a better response if you posted in the proper category (jayco motor homes) instead of in a random thread about something else

Oh sorry, I just saw you had a smaller TT. Mine is 39' long and weights 11,000 lbs. I couldn't imagine having to crank this thing up and down manually by choice.

Had a manual jack on my previous trailer. Love the electric jack on my current trailer.

With an electric jack can you still do that or will it hurt the jack?

That is why electric jacks are so popular.. Hookup, lift, install bars, drop.. all no cranking..
