I inspected this jack and I am convinced that this is the same one that Campers World sells. Why is it that "camper stores" mark these products up so high and then at the end of the season when your camper is stored they give you "special" deal that still doesn't compare to the price that non-camper stores sell them for all year? Other reviewers complained about water in the gears and failure after a few years? So they must live East of the Mississippi river where it rains all the time. If you live there, (I do now) you know that everything will rust. So put a cap on it, I mean the jack. When you store the camper put a cover, a plastic coffee can will work, over the top of the jack and check the lubrication when you open the camper in the spring. So every spring when you scrape and repaint your camper frame and try and clean the mold from the top and sides of the camper, check the jack and it will last as long as the camper.

I bought this because I have back problems. My trailer has a 800 pound tongue weight and I wanted help getting it disconnected from the truck. If the trailer ball hangs any on the hitch it will stop the motor. Once disconnected from the truck ball it strains to raise it up to level. This would be fine for a trailer tongue of 300 to 400 pounds, but any more puts a very great strain on jack motor. I ran the jack with electric connected to make sure batterys had full power. I do not think there is any way this jack would lift 2000 pounds much less the 3000 pounds that it is listed at.

The jack I purchased only worked intermittently. As another reviewer mentioned, the electrical contacts were the problem. I had to take it all apart and re-solder all of the connections. One other suggestion: The grease this thing shipped with was very thick and sticky, more like chewing gum than grease. I scraped it out and replaced it with wheel bearing grease. Now it runs much quieter, smoother, and a bit faster. If you're not handy or don't like getting your hands dirty, I'd pass on this one. I would have returned it but I purchased it in the US and brought it back to Canada; too much hassle.
