Expert Reply:
Thank you for the photo of your 1973 Sprite Alpine travel trailer which has an unusual integrated coupler and jack. Truthfully, this is the first time several of us have seen this kind of setup.
What I recommend is a cost-effective bolt-on frame-mount side-wind caster wheel swivel jack like # MJ-1206B which is rated for 1000-lbs, plenty for your smaller vintage travel trailer. The side-wind handle will help avoid interference with trailer structure since the handle radius is only 7-inches. This jack provides 10-inches of lift.
All similar side-mount side-wind jacks appear on the linked page.
