Camco Eaz-Lift Electric Tongue Jack Head Cover

Your electric tongue jack sits right out on the front of the trailer A-frame, motor and all, taking every bit of weather the sky throws at it. Rain, road grime, UV, salt spray off the launch ramp. The Camco Eaz-Lift Electric Tongue Jack Head Cover slips over that jack head and keeps the worst of it off, whether the trailer's parked in the yard for the season or sitting in the driveway between trips.

What sets this cover apart is the material. It's a three-layer build: spunbond polypropylene on the outside, a microporous breathable film in the middle, and another layer of spunbond polypropylene on the inside. That outer shell is water-resistant, so a passing shower or morning dew rolls off instead of soaking through to the jack's motor housing. The breathable middle film is the part that matters most, though. A lot of cheap covers trap moisture underneath, and trapped moisture is exactly what corrodes electrical contacts and seizes up a jack motor. This one lets that humidity work its way out, so you're not sealing dampness in against the metal.

It's a universal fit. The cover measures 18 inches tall, 7-1/2 inches wide, and 8-1/2 inches deep, which is sized to slip over most standard electric tongue jack heads. An adjustable drawstring runs around the bottom opening. You pull the cover down over the head, cinch the drawstring snug, and it stays put. No snaps to line up, no elastic to stretch out over a couple of seasons. Just a simple closure that works.

If you trailer a boat, you already know how hard the ramp is on hardware. Backing down into brackish or salt water, spray coming off the tires, the jack sitting there through it all. Keeping a cover on the jack head between launches is a small habit that adds years to the motor. Same goes for winter layup. Pull the boat, park the trailer, cover the jack, and you're not fighting a corroded or water-logged jack come spring.

RV and camper owners get the same benefit. Campground season ends, the travel trailer goes into the side yard or a storage lot, and that tongue jack sits exposed for months. This cover keeps leaves, dirt, and standing moisture off the head so the jack fires up the next time you need to hitch.

Camco builds this one under the Eaz-Lift name, the same line as a lot of their trailer towing and weight-distribution gear. It's the kind of low-cost part that's easy to overlook until the day your jack won't retract because water got in and rusted the works. At this price, keeping one on each trailer you own is cheap insurance.

Installation takes about ten seconds. There's nothing to assemble and no tools needed. Drop it over the jack head, snug the drawstring, done. When you're ready to hitch up, pull the drawstring loose, slide the cover off, and stow it. The spunbond polypropylene wipes down easily if it picks up road dirt, and it folds flat for storage in a trailer tongue box or a cabinet.

A couple of honest notes on what this is. It's a head cover, not a full jack wrap. It protects the top of the jack, the part with the motor and the crank, which is the part that actually needs the protection. It's built for storage and parking, so it's not something you'd run down the highway with at speed. And because it's breathable rather than fully sealed, think of it as water-resistant weather protection, not a submersible dry bag. For what it's built to do, keeping weather, grit, and trapped moisture off your jack head, it does that job simply and holds up.
