Barker Mfg
<h3>About Barker Manufacturing</h3><p>When RV enthusiasts talk about equipment that simply works — trip after trip, season after season — <strong>Barker Manufacturing</strong> is a name that comes up consistently. Founded in 1953 and based in Battle Creek, Michigan, Barker has spent more than seven decades as a family-owned, American manufacturer devoted entirely to the needs of the recreational vehicle community. Their guiding philosophy is straightforward: design products the way an actual RVer would, because the people building them have been camping themselves all along.</p><p>Barker's product lineup reflects that hands-on perspective. Rather than chasing trends, the company has refined a focused range of RV accessories — power jacks, portable waste tanks, water tanks, slidewinders, auto drains, roof vent accessories, and more — engineering each one for reliability and ease of use in real-world camping conditions. Every product ships completely assembled and backed by Barker's commitment to responsive customer support and solid warranty coverage.</p><h3>RV Power Jacks</h3><p>Among Barker's most recognized innovations are their electric <a href="/7247-barker-mfg-jack-14315">RV jacks</a>. The VIP 3000 and VIP 3500 Power Jack lines deliver lifting capacities of up to 3,500 pounds, and include thoughtful features like a built-in "Nite-Lite" for low-light hookups, an emergency manual crank, and a powder-coated, weather-resistant finish. The inner tube is sealed at the bottom to keep moisture and debris away from the precision screw mechanism — a detail that speaks to Barker's engineering mindset. Whether you need an A-frame tongue jack for a travel trailer or a heavy-duty option for a fifth wheel, Barker's jack lineup covers the range.</p><h3>Portable Waste & Water Tanks</h3><p>Barker is widely recognized as the RV industry's leading supplier of portable waste holding tanks, sold under their iconic <strong>Tote-Along</strong> name. These <a href="/7247-barker-mfg-water-waste-tanks-202732">water and waste tanks</a> are blow-molded from durable polyethylene and range in capacity from 5 to 42 gallons, with 2-wheel and 4-wheel pneumatic designs available to suit virtually any RV size or dump station distance. The 4-Wheel models feature a double-wheel front-swivel design for easy maneuvering and attach to a standard hitch ball for towing directly to the dump station. Barker also manufactures fresh water tank kits in multiple sizes, each arriving fully assembled with all necessary hardware included.</p><h3>Electrical Accessories</h3><p>Supporting their jack and tank systems, Barker also offers a selection of <a href="/7247-barker-mfg-fuse-2676">fuse</a> and wiring components designed to keep your RV's 12-volt electrical systems running reliably. These accessories are engineered to complement Barker's own power jack systems, ensuring a complete, compatible solution from a single trusted source.</p><h3>Why RVers Choose Barker</h3><ul><li><strong>Made in the USA</strong> — Barker designs, manufactures, and ships from their Michigan facility</li><li><strong>Family-owned legacy</strong> — Over 70 years of continuous operation with consistent quality standards</li><li><strong>Designed by RVers</strong> — Products are built with the perspective of actual campers, not just engineers</li><li><strong>Complete solutions</strong> — Products ship fully assembled with all hardware included</li><li><strong>Warranty & support</strong> — Backed by responsive customer service and a strong warranty program</li></ul>
