Mine was hydraulic with manual crank. Some are all manual. Seemed pretty reliable to me. Has gaskets round it, probably will not leak unless the gaskets are real bad. Sent from my iPhone On Sep 2, 2012, at 1:41 PM, Fmiser fmi...@gmail.com wrote: I have been asked for advice on a trailer

The slideout on my 29' Springdale travel trailer is the electric screw jack setup with a manual crank backup. They do pretty well as long as the gaskets are good. Kevin in Hillsboro, OR ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to
