Yes, very easy. Hook it up to your TV, remove the manual jack, install the electric jack. If I recall correctly, they even come with an online fuse. Just need to connect it to the battery.

Us young guys prefer power jacks as well! 
And it's easy to install.

One of the easiest and best mods to do on a TT.
Took me about 15 minutes.

Torque wrench, wire stripper/crimper, a couple ring connectors and 15 minutes. Just replaced cheap FIC 3500 that came with trailer with a Husky Brute 4500. Super easy...

I've been contemplating this too but wasn't sure how hard the install would be, sounds like it's a simple mod?
