Another power jack question

Hey all, my Google Fu is failing me, and I know I've seen a thread that covered most of the different brands of power tongue jacks. Having said that, looking at a ram Jack to replace my broken manual jack. Anyone have good/bad experiences with this brand? Trying to stay away from lippert, and this seems like a good replacement.

When I replaced the manual jack on my trailer I wanted something made in USA so I bought a Barker.

I made the same decision a year or so ago. Got the American owned, designed, and built Barker.

As much as I wanted a Barker, current funds had me at the ram price point. So hopefully it'll last a few years. But thanks for the replies. The next one, whether it's this trailer or the next one will be a Barker.

Leafer27. Could you post your RV make and model? If you have a lighter weight one like mine almost any one will work. Some will work faster and last longer than others but they will work. For really big rigs with big tongue weight you need to step up to big capacity motors and quality gears.
