Lift Jack
We have a level rite hi power 3000 lift jack that works 50% of the time. I have had it! Ordered a new one (Odyssey 4000 lb Electric Tongue Jack - Black] from Camping World. Just got it, I did not think about the size of the head on the unit, it is 3 inches from the shaft post which is not going to fit due to the cover on the propane tanks. The instructions say I can mount it with the front towards the driver's side which would fit due to it has one inch overhang. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

The instructions say I can do that, however I better go look at the bolt hole pattern. I just looked at the bolt pattern and it looks like the bolt plate would have to be drilled to match the holes on the trailer tongue if I turn it facing the drivers side. Unless the head of the new lift can be rotated. I think I should just take the old one off and see how the new one fits. I also noticed the new one comes with a hot and ground wire, the old one only has a hot, so it must be grounded via the bolts holding it to the frame.

I just got off the phone with Odyssey, the head can only be rotated 180 degrees, this does no good at all. They are emailing me a drill template so I can rotate the whole unit 90 degrees which will clear the propane cover. They told me the new units being made have the new hole pattern on them. I bought this one from Camping World--the ones in stock there have not got the new hole pattern.
