So, I recently took the plunge and upgraded my travel trailer’s hitching game with the Lippert 285318 Power Tongue Jack. I mean, who doesn’t want to turn a chore into a breeze, right?

First off, let’s talk about the installation. I’ve tackled my fair share of DIY projects, but I have to say, this was one of the easiest ones yet. It comes with clear instructions, and before I knew it, I had it mounted and ready to go in about 30 minutes – which, if you know me, is a record time (there may have been some celebratory dancing involved).

Now, onto the real magic: the power! I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly this jack lifts and lowers my trailer. No more grunting and straining while I’m trying to get the hitch on or off. It’s all smooth sailing now, which means I can save my energy for more important things, like prepping snacks for my adventures (priorities, am I right?). Plus, with a simple push of a button, I can adjust the height, even from the comfort of my truck – it’s like having a personal assistant for my trailer!

One feature I didn’t expect to appreciate as much as I have is the built-in LED light. This little gem has saved my life during impromptu camping trips that stretch into dark hours. Now I can actually see what I’m doing instead of rummaging around with a flashlight in my mouth—definitely a win!

As for durability, I’ve already taken this baby on a few rough terrain adventures, and it’s held up like a champ. I’m really excited to see how it performs over time, but so far, I’ve got no complaints.

Now, I’d love to hear from anyone else who has tried the Lippert 285318. Did you have a similarly smooth experience, or did it pull a fast one on you? Any unique stories or tips you’ve got to share? Let’s hear it!

• 🔧 Installation Party: You breezed through the setup in 30 minutes? Teach me your ways, oh wise one! Maybe I need to host a how-to session complete with snacks and celebratory dances. Extra points if it turns into a mini-rave with that built-in LED light! 💃🕺
• 💡 Let There Be Light: That LED sounds like a lifesaver! No more “flashlight juggling” during those late-night arrivals when you’re half-convinced a bear is watching your every move. 🐻👀
• ⚡ Power Boost: It’s like skipping leg day at the gym but for your RV. I mean, why sweat when a button can do all the hard work? Save that energy for the real workout: finding the perfect snack combination. 🍿🍪
• 🛤️ Terrain Tackler: Rough terrains are just another walk in the park for you now, huh? My RV would probably tap out just hearing about hills and bumps. Tell us, have you gained any new RV scars to tell heroic tales about? 🚐✨
