Power Tongue Jack Alteration Option

Hello. First-timer here.

2021 GeoPro 19FBS with the stock Power Tongue Jack. The large head on the jack doesn't allow our 2018 Dodge Durango lift gate to open without hitting it.

Can I reconfigure the unit to turn the plastic head housing to one side, and gain the clearance needed?

Thanks in advance!

Typically, the three mounting bolts that mount the jack to the frame are equidistant from each other. If you remove those three and simply turn the whole jack and re-attach, that might gain you the clearance you need. However, depending on your camper configuration you may encounter other clearance issues with the propane tank cover or something else.
