My previous travel trailer (a 2012 model) came with a Flip-jack factory installed when I purchased it brand new. This year I upgraded to a new camper that did not have this feature... so I purchased and installed one for myself. That alone tells You everything You need to know about whether I like these or not!The installation was breeze by the way... I will say that no drilling was required for mine as the footpad hole was proper size and alignment. However should Yours need the attachment hole added, I wouldn't expect that to be too difficult with a quality drill and good bits.Finally, I did consider adding an electric jack to my new camper. After reviewing many options, the common theme with all of them seemed to be keeping them covered, protected, maintained, finding power to operate, and the size/inconvenience it creates interfering with the tailgate. Many people discussed having a reasonable service life of roughly 3-4 years, while others mounted theirs sideways to create a work-around for tailgate room. For a small fraction of the price of an electric jack I can connect and disconnect my camper just as quickly with or without 12v power, and all without the hassles or the need to service or replace. Install once and super basic grease maintenance and it's good for years.I enjoy having this simple solution.
