A heavy duty drill or impact gun with the right end on it will work..

I agree that a heavy battery drill will do the trick if your system is operating correctly. Try stopping at a dealership and asking them if the effort level is correct.
You may have bad pulleys, rusted wire, wire that jumped off the pulley, corrosion, etc. Also, the whole system should be lubricated yearly and it may require more lube if you run through a lot of rain and / or dust.

If you are camping somewhere or know someone with a popup ask them if the effort is too much. I bet almost every camper in your area would be glad to help!

I would if you are located near Peoria, IL! I have owned three.

I was hoping that someone has installed electric on a jaco camper.... my crank pully is actually inside the camper. The electric unit showes it sitting on the tounge of the trailer.... that wont work... but i guess i could mount the unit inside..... just in place of the manual unit
