Scissor jack socket size?

[audio1der]

I want to pick up an extra socket for putting the stab. jacks down with an old cordless drill. Does anyone know what size of socket a 2013 Passport 3220BH would use?
TIA!

Mine is 3/4". Those jacks are pretty universal so I'd suspect that yours are too.

You can also get a socket for your drill from any camping supply store. They cost about $5.00.

Thanks very much, guys 3/4" was right on.
We picked it up this morning and it was quite fast to unhook & temporarily jack before we head out to winter storage on Sunday.
The help was much appreciated!

Hopfully it was one of the ones with a flat edge ground on opposite sides and not the round shank type. The round ones seem to bind up and slip after awhile. Nothing a bench grinder wont take care of.

Oh gee, and don't forget that somewhere in your manual for either the jacks or the trailer it says that if you use one of those it will void your jack warranty. It's not a problem, I was being sarchastic. I have been using mine for a year now and no issues with it being bad for the jacks. I would keep the threads a little lubricated though so they don't get bound up. I guess that's the only one small problem with using the drill. It doesn't know when to stop whereas using the crank tool they provide allows you to feel that binding and you can stop. What you are supposed to do if it binds is beyond me other than going back and forth to clear any debri I guess.

I'm not rich by any means, but I would prefer to have to buy a new set of jacks if necessary rather than use that crank tool they provide every time I camp. What a PAIN!!

I've found that once I switched to the chuck type I described above, I've had little problem. I do occassional pit a little spray grease on them (about every other trip) and have had no binding issues, even running the drill at a pretty good speed (about half trigger pull).

I've only used mine a short time, but the cheapo Harbor Freight drill set on a low torque setting seems to ensure the drill won't force the jack if it binds. I also stop before it's fully up or fully down, and use the hand crank to dial it in.
