Question:
My 5th wheel has a 13KGVW, will this Jack set work for my application?, Bulldog Camper Jack - BD500162. Also, what motor would work for this set?

For a 13K 5th wheel the Bulldog Tandem Landing Gear Set # BD500162, which is rated for 8000-lbs, will be more than adequate. According to my contact at Bulldog they do not offer a motor kit for this particular jack.
For powered landing gear you might instead consider # LG-1 from Stromberg Carlson. This landing gear is rated for 5500-lbs, still enough for your trailer. For a higher-rated powered jack kit use part # RP500708. This is a dual-motor set-up rated for 8,000 pounds.
Stromberg Carlson Electric Landing Gear Set - Weld On - 34-7/8" Lift - 5,500 lbs
Bulldog Tandem Landing Gear Set - Drop Leg - 36" Lift - 8,000 lbs
