Tongue jack power

[merchantmm]

Any ideas on how to power a TONGUE jack if there are no batteries installed in your trailer and it is located on a storage lot with no available power? I recently decided to store my trailer on a storage lot and keep my batteries in my garage on maintenance charge. No one with a modern Airstream should have to manually jack their trailer! is there a way to use the batteries in the TV? I have a late model F-250. My trailer is 2015 FC.

Portable jump pack or jumper cables to TV battery.

Jumper cables off the tv battery should do the trick

It's not terribly hard to use the manual wrench provided with your trailer. Just pop the level top off your jack, attach the wrench and crank - no biggie.

Alternatively, you could rig up a nice little kit off your tow vehicle's 7-pin connection that could splice in to your jack.

Your jack is connected directly to the battery. If the batteries are removed, the ring is just hanging in the battery box. You could use battery jump cables to connect to the ring and chassis ground, then connect to any vehicle's battery or you could make a 7 way for your TV as suggested above.

Bring one battery back with you?

Btw, just in case, don't tow it with no battery. It works the emergency brake.
