Busted both switches with the tailgate on my 2017 Silverado last trip. Wish I knew about that easy fix before not after. Thanks for the tip.

[@ziggysworkshop8784]

Sorry you found out late but I'm glad my tip will help you avoid it from happening again!

[@jumpoffjoe6572]

Thanks for this great tip! Going out to do this now. A serious oversight by travel trailer manufactures. I'm using a 2019 Ram towing a 2023 Grand Design Imagine and they're still screwing this up to this day. Great fix. Thank you!

Great tip, I just did this. There have been so many times I was loaded up and was ready to take off and wished I could let my tailgate down and couldn't do it. Now I can!

[@ziggysworkshop8784]

I glad this helped. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Happy Camping!

@@ziggysworkshop8784 I posted your video on FB on a few different groups so you're probably going to be getting a lot more responses. Thanks again!

[@ziggysworkshop8784]

Thank you for sharing my video. I really appreciate it

[@roaddog8537]

That's great info 👍. My Silverado does the same thing, it actually hits and activates the power switch when I try to put something in the bed. Thank You

[@ziggysworkshop8784]

I'm glad it helped.

[@JeffinTD]

Great video. I’m going to do this soon.

[@ziggysworkshop8784]

I'm very glad you found this useful. Happy Camping!

[@scotts595]

Same with my Ford F-250!
Great fix thx 👍😎

[@ziggysworkshop8784]

I'm glad this helped you out.

Problem I have is that LCI did not have the opposing holes on my 2021 trailer ! I will have to drill new holes, hope I drill the correct hole size (not 5/16", it's smaller) and hope I get them properly aligned 180 degrees front to back. There is much room for a slop factor. Then I will need to tap the holes. I might get lucky.

[@ziggysworkshop8784]

It sounds like you have some skills. You got this. Happy Camping!

[@genescholler]

Just did same too easy

[@genescholler]

2023 Winnebago 2108 power jack had no holes, a simple center punch, drill bit, tap we are rotated

[@bruceharkness4497]

Seems like they should have thought about this during the design phase of the power head.

[@ziggysworkshop8784]

Or the design phase of the trailer

[@paulagarcia7777]

Great Tip!! Life saver

[@ziggysworkshop8784]

I'm glad it helps. Happy Camping!

[@Yukonjackman1]

Great tip thanks

[@ziggysworkshop8784]

You are very welcome. Happy Camping!

[@bparkinson1234]

Hell ya. I have the same issue with my new ford superduty. Just did 9000 miles. Tired of putting work gloves as a pad. Also on the ford the camera hits it dead on. Thanks

[@ziggysworkshop8784]

I hope it works well for you!

[@russell1265]

I might put a longer hitch on and try that

[@robertosgood961]

Great low cost alternative to spending $175. on an 18" extended hitch from Equalizer.

[@ziggysworkshop8784]

I'm glad this was able to save you some 💰

[@hikethisplanet1017]

My Lippert Power Jack wasn't the same as yours. Mine did not have the 2 extra holes in it. I had to drill 2 new holes and then tap them. Problem with all of that is, you have to be absolutely perfectly 180 degrees from new hole to new hole. Otherwise your bolts will not line up. I did it and it worked out fine. But I think there was more luck than skill in getting them perfect.

[@ziggysworkshop8784]

I'm glad it worked out! Happy camping

This work on Our Ford at 3/4 percent and only 1/2 for Our GMC. SO not a fix all for all, very, very cool though. We like it anyways for now the controls are directly in use for the driver.

[@ziggysworkshop8784]

Darn. I would have liked it to work for all

[@chriscotton6417]

Just so everyone to know there are options.

[@mathanson5361]

Do you have to have the trailer hooked up to the truck?

[@ziggysworkshop8784]

No you don't. I did mine with the stabilizer jacks down on the trailer just to be safe

[@chriscotton6417]

Hitch extension? Maybe .

[@ziggysworkshop8784]

My Equalizer shouldn't be extended. Besides this was a 20 minute fix for almost no cost

[@darenaubiephotography8570]

Hmmm my 2022 Tundra doesn't hit the power jack

[@ziggysworkshop8784]

Some hit some don't. I'm glad yours doesn't.

[@johnchevis8531]

U an awesome. M. F. Copy dat. 10-4
