Replacement Trailer Jack for Viking Legend Pop-Up Camper
Question:
I have a 2004 Viking Legend 2485ST pop up camper, and my top-wind trailer jack with 8 wheel needs to be replaced. The jack uses a clamp to hold the 48mm 1.9in OD tube, and it must be unclamped and retracted upward to get the wheel out of the way for travel. I think my only option is to replace it with a similar style, since the clamp is welded to the side of the trailer see pics. My GVWR is 3,280lbs, so Im thinking tongue weight max is around 500lbs, but Im not sure? The current model number on the Alko looks to be 1222434 stamped on wheel. I saw on another expert response one of your guys mentioned that is similar to etrailer product #BD1701480317, but that has an OD tube of 2.25 - Im not sure if the clamp will open up quite that much, since it must be tightened very securely in order to support the tongue weight. Im open to replacing the entire thing with an alternative, but Im not sure what options I have.

What you've got there looks like some type of proprietary mount that we don't offer. We do however have jacks that would work.
I'd recommend having the mount removed and using a weld-on jack like the Fulton # FXP100W0301 and the # P9012-00 bracket. This is a swivel jack, so when the pop-up is hitched to the tow vehicle, pull the pin and swing up the jack so it stores parallel to the trailer frame. This prevents the caster from hitting anything while towing and getting damaged, which from your photo looks like what happened. The jack has a 1200 lb capacity which is more than you'd ever need but overkill is the way to go with trailer jacks. The jack won't need to work as hard to operate (nor will you) which will extend the life of the jack.

Does the inner tube rotate inside the outer tube on this jack? I need one that rotates inside the outer tube with a top wind crank
