That model looks ok for something much bigger than you have.

What you have to consider in addition to tongue weight is the tow vehicle if you intend to assist hitching and connecting your WDH each time you hook up.

I use mine to take the weight off my Andersen WDH which includes lifting the rear of my TV a few inches. After I do that I drop it down, unlatch the ball and raise it again to take it off the ball then drop or raise it to final parking height.

That's a lot of up downs every time we use the trailer. I wanted durability over weight lifting.

I just replaced my factory installed power jack with this same Husky jack. Install was super easy, it seems well made, super quiet, and truly a "brute'' lift. The bracket for storing the 7 way was also a nice touch.

I bought this in 2016 for over former TT (Keystone Passport Ultralight), last year when we traded for our Eagle I took the Jack off the Passport and installed on my Eagle. Haven’t had a moment of trouble. Works great. I too use it to lift rear of TV and TT tongue when hitching and unhitching. If it died tomorrow I’d replace ASAP.
