Any of you that have the Atwood 3500, does it have a crank back-up if no power? Also, does it have lights?
The Atwood and other websites do not address these two issues on this product.
Thanks.

Hope you just replaced the fusible link with regular wire and a fuse. It's much easier to replace the fuse than the link

Yes, the Atwood 3500 has a backup crank and a light. I have 4 Heavy duty Atwoods on my 5000lb truck camper, 4 Atwoods on a previous truck camper, and now one on the trailer. I don't know how they compare with the other brands, but I haven't had an issue with the Atwoods at all.

I have the UltraFab 3500, but it does the same thing as the other members have posted, the jack works but you can tell its working at the top of its curve especially when lifting trailer and truck. When it eventually gives out I'll go for the Atwood 3500.
Thanks Bill.

As a few have said; most folks recommend the jack they have. I'll do the same thing, but have to give Ultra Fab 5 stars for their customer service that they gave me last year. Read about it here: Awesome Ultra Fab folks.... Marv went out of his way to make sure I was happy with the Ultra Fab 3502.
