Shop before you buy!

Open the box and see how it was previously installed. When I installed and tried it, the head had a problem, it moved like it was vibrating under electricity. Also missing is the base that attaches to the underside of the jack and the screw and washer that secures it. As well as star shaped lock washers that go under the box when installed on the trailer drawbar. It looks like the power cord has been severed. The protective cover of the on/off switch was also damaged. Very disappointed. Sent…

Pros
  • Stable Test Results
Cons
  • Negative Impression

I received the item on time. The packaging was very good and the lift was in like-new condition, as expected. Assembly was smooth and all holes lined up as they should. The main part is the operation. I know my trailer tongue weighs 1,000 pounds because I weighed it on a special scale. This is 1/3 of the stated capacity of 3500 lb. .I can't say it's bad until it fails, but it's not what I expected. I will update in the future

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Available in black only

I can never go back to cranking

30ft frame (26ft box) full of tools and race cars? No problem. This thing is like a trailer marvel. screws on. It was up and running in less than half an hour. One (extremely small) thing - when I first plugged it in and hit the switch, nothing happened. But the little auxiliary light came on, no problem, so I got power. So I opened up the top (the little dragonfly at the top is on the bayonet and will pop out when rotated 1/4) and one of the spade lugs popped out of the back of the switch…

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Expensive

Let the Barker VIP Power Jack do the hard work for you!

It's hot, I'm tired and I have to turn the trailer by hand to hitch it! After much hesitation, I finally decided to buy a power jack for my caravan. I did my research and the Barker VIP Power Jack was the winner! Ordered for Revain Prime, received in 2 days, took about 1 hour to install. Now all I have to do is pull a lever and my trailer goes up or down on my command and I'm not sweating a bit! This jack works flawlessly every time and even has a backlight for when you need to use it in the…

I'm glad others like this product and wish everyone the best.

I am returning this product because I can't get it to work. Before returning I checked the other reviews. Spent an hour sanding the frame on my RV. Checked the head for loose wires and fuses. Tried other suggested methods to properly ground the device. After a few tries I gave up as I couldn't even get the light to work. Needless to say I am disappointed. I don't want the company to contact me to suggest other ways to install this product because I no longer waste time trying to work around…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Protection

and I'm SO happy with it

I had one on my first camper, a 1100kg drop trailer. I upgraded to a 20ft RV that weighs four times as much and it killed me lifting it up to attach the weight distribution bars. I finally bought another jack for this motorhome and am very happy with it. That works great. The wide foot base also makes the camper much more stable. I cannot say enough good things about this product. Although Barker is known throughout the industry for their fantastic customer service, I have to say that I was…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • There are downsides

Looks like a good jack

I bought this jack based on recommendations from other people on a caravan forum that I visit frequently. My original bushing (LCI) was very noisy, started making all sorts of grinding/popping noises and was about to fail immediately. I was a little apprehensive about ordering the Barker online when I read that others had received their jack and it was damaged in transit. The one I received was in great condition and the manufacturer put some cushions around the head of the unit to help with…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • The list will be long.

A small correction is necessary before the operation. Good customer service.

I think it's a good buy but I had some problems from the start. I've considered holding off on writing this review since I've just installed the device, but I feel it's important to share the review now in the hope that (1) others will be aware that this device may not is immediately ready for use. , as it should , and (2) hope someone at Barker sees this review and fixes this issue. I unpacked the device, unpacked it and considered everything; All is. So far, so good. Tidy up the frame area to

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
