Bulldog Powered Drive Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 22" Lift - 4,000 lbs - Black
Overall the product does exactly what it's intended for and works well. I however assumed that this would be a simple R&R for my camper and did very little installation research other that the video provided on etrailer' s website Sadly it did not fit. Not at all. I didn't take into account that have a double framed hitch toyhauler. The baseplate on the factory leg was a TRIANGLE.....this unit was ROUND. Also the primary shaft was thicker than stock and would not drop down into place I know modifying is frowned upon, but I found that ALL powered hitch legs I found have round mounting plates and it's not mentioned the leg tube is thicker than OEM? Since NOT having a power lift wasn't an option for this camper application...too heavy in the front when ATVS loaded to lift for setting the equalizer hitch tension bars, I proceeded to modify by cutting the rear rounded mounting base ... square. Took off about 1/2 inch. Then I took my metal Dremel sanding bit and increased the hitch leg hole diameter slightly. Took about 1 hr. Dropped it in. Wired it. Tested it. All good. If you can't post this I understand, but take note that some of your website descriptions may need to be enhanced. Thanks!
I ordered the Reese Bulldog 4000lb power tongue jack on 6/2 and received it on 6/6, my second order from etrailer and it came just as fast as the hitch that I ordered from them previously. The jack was characteristically well packaged so everything was received in perfect condition. The installation took a half hour, including hitching the trailer up to my truck and unhitching after the swap out. I did read the instructions quickly before starting and I would recommend that anyone doing the installation do so as well, just to avoid any hick-ups. Overall it was a very easy installation. Because of limited space I did have to mount the jack sideways, so I appreciate that Reese gave me that option. The one item that I did not finish was a permanent power hook-up. The power wire provided was too short so I will be putting a connector inline so that I can route the wire to the battery terminal.

Bulldog Powered Drive Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 22" Lift - 3,500 lbs - Black
This Bulldog replaced an Atwood jack on our Lance 1575. The Bulldog is quiet, but there is a fair amount of play between the inner and outer tubes. It feels unstable even when fully retracted. This wasn't the case with my old Atwood jack. If I had known this, I would have gone with another brand. I bought the Bulldog based on the reviews and the warranty, so I was surprised that there is so much wobble in it.
Installation was quick and easy per the instructions and eTrailer video. One of the few times I've had something "bolt right in/on" LOL. It has worked flawlessly in the time that I've been using it. The only drawback, and it is a small issue, is that it is easy in the heat of battle to bump the light switch ON and not see it in the daylight. One just needs to be careful or use a bit of tape to secure light switch OFF until needed. Another great product from etailer.
