Does anyone know what this is?
We found it in an outside compartment on our new-to-us 2015 Rockwood Roo.
It is a hollow bar with a rubber handgrip at one end and a notch in the open end.
Mod edit: see pic in post #3

Dunno, link takes me to a page with many pics and when I try to increase the size it wants me to login. Sorry.
If it's the pic in the upper left, it kind of looks like a floor jack handle.
It could also be a manual handle for a slide motor but I don't think that's it.
You can place pics directly in your post.

Much better.
A handle for your weight distribution chain locks (if that's what it's called)
Snap up lever, I believe.
Mine looks similar but without the rubber handle.

By the way, I've read in several places about using PUGS for the trailer. What is this? I'm assuming it is not a dog!

If it is plastic it looks like a piece to a central vacuum.

PopUp Gizmos (PUG) is a multi-layered polyethylene cover for the tops of a camper’s bunkends.

Just to clarify, you still need to raise the tongue to remove the pressure on the chains. This tool is not used to remove the links under pressure. You might want to get your dealer to take you through the process again if you are not clear on it. There is a lot of pressure here.

Looks like a really nice cheater bar to me. Agreed about raising the tongue jack up will take off tension and make raising or lowering the saddle bar hooks easier to do.

PUGS work well to clean your floor.
