Tongue Jacks

I have owned a lot of utility trailers, RV TT’s and never experienced a “ failure “..electrical mechanical. I have a 2019 Rockwood Ultra Lite...love it. Dry weight 6300#....Navigator 2013 pulls it great😊.(26’ body+ hitch) Just got back from a religious 4 day reunion/ convention...in Canada. An unusual problem, was centered on a total failure of my new RV electric tongue jack. Could not disconnect vehicle without a lot of hassle....plus I have a Hensley hitch system..love it. If I can call it fortunate enough, Jack was in raised position...wouldn’t extend.Then I attempted to lower it manual..NOPE. Tried electric once more....grinder something awful. Trailer was in a level area, of a field...and actually level, without doing anything.Luckily, the trailer was nearly level, from front to back...attached to our truck. Anyways. FIC electric jack removed ..and replaced with a RAM 3500#..by my more local camper service, in Mi. It was purchased in Shipshewana..Wana RV..Indiana. NO nearby Forest River Service Centers. So i’m hoping warranty process..isn’t going to be a hassle. I don’t know, if this is unusual, or not. Sorry I got a lil’ lengthy😊

You probably just got a lemon. It happens. Hopefully the warranty will cover your replacement without a hassle.
