I converted the manual tilt to elect/hyd tilt because the manual jack that used to tilt the bed only tilted it about 1/4" per handle stroke. By the time I got the trailer tilted and 200 pumps later my arms were wore out. The elect/ hyd takes less than 10 seconds. H&H does sell the trailer I have in both manual and electric tilt, I opted for the manual because I knew I could convert it for half the price difference in the two trailers. Plus I used a larger diameter piston cylinder than their electric one comes with for safety.
I don't have a problem with the trailer jack but may consider going to an electric jack later. I have one on my camper trailer.
I store my chains in a 5 gallon bucket with the hooks hanging on the top lip of the bucket. I'm going to mount another box on the trailer for chains and binders just haven't found a box the right size or price yet. The 5 gallon pail gets heavy with 6 to 8 chains in it.
