A side-frame mount jack like the Pro Series Round, Snap-Ring Swivel Jack # PS1400300303 could be used on a travel trailer, but there are some things you will want to take into consideration.
Typically, A-frame jacks are used on travel trailers to provide support at the centerline of the trailer. A side-mount jack will provide support at one side of the trailer. When possible, it is best to support the trailer at the center of the A-frame, rather than to one side or the other.

The Ultra-Fab Scissor Jack # UF48-979032 that you referenced is strictly designed as a stabilization mechanism for trailers. This jack mounts to the underside of the trailer and then drops to hold the trailer in place to prevent rocking. These jacks are designed to stabilize, but not to support the full weight of a trailer.
My technical contact at Ultra-Fab told me that the term jack is an industry term for a variety of items that do not necessarily raise a vehicle but all have a similar... view full answer...
The Leveling Scissor Jack Set, item # JSC-24, is designed as a leveling, stabilizer jack, that is to be bolted to the frame of the trailer.
If you could find a location close enough to the wheel and tire to mount the jack securely, then the 5,000 pound capacity of the jack could be used to do maintenance or change a tire on a 4,000 pound trailer. Mounting the jack at the corners of the trailer would most likely not provide enough lift for this application.
These jacks are not designed... view full answer...
I went ahead and checked out your Fulton XLT Bolt-Thru Swivel Trailer Jack # F26ZR, and the Fulton F2 Swing-Up Trailer Jack, and you actually won't be able to use this mounting bracket with your XLT jack due to the fact that the plate for the F2 jack is different, and will get welded to your trailer.
The bolt on Fulton F2 jack attaches to your trailer the same way, with the use of a u-bolt.
However, what you could do, is use the:

The Pro Series Square Jack with Footplate # PS1400800383 is a stand-alone jack that welds on to a trailer frame. This 5000-lb-rated jack is intended to be used by itself, not along with another jack.
The dual jack landing gear setups like # RVLG-8000 are typically for 5th wheel trailers and these do use two jacks connected by a rod. One hand crank operates both jacks at the same time. These landing gear systems appear on the linked page.

To install the Husky Brute Electric Trailer Jack HB4500, A-Frame, 4,500 Pounds # HT87247 you want to get power for the jack from either the 12V hot lead wire at the 7-Way connector or a larger 12V battery on the trailer. You will not want to install the jack on the trailer's breakaway battery.
If you connect the jack's power wire to the 12V hot lead from the 7-Way connector, make sure the trailer's connector is plugged into your tow vehicle in order for the jack to have power.

From what you told me it sounds like the foot on your trailer jack, like part # TJA-2001-B, doesn't leave the ground until you have the tongue weight of the trailer supported. Since the purpose of an A-Frame trailer jack is to support the tongue weight of the trailer if you don't have anything else supporting the tongue weight of your trailer it will naturally go down as the foot retracts into the jack.
When your trailer is parked and uncoupled it is always best to leave the foot of your... view full answer...
There isn't really a recommended footplate-to-ground clearance for mounting a trailer jack like the Bulldog Square Jack # BD195352 that you referenced.
The best way to determine where to install it would be to hook it up to your tow vehicle and then lift the trailer to uncouple and mark the height. You will then want to install the jack at a height that the jack can achieve. Aside from that, there really is no specific height for mounting a trailer jack.

The Domar Stabilizer Jack # TJ01RT that you referenced is intended to provide stabilization and support for up to 650 pounds.This jack is not intended to provide lift (as in removing from a coupler), but is intended to stabilize a parked trailer. If your trailer is 1,000 pounds you will want to use at least 2 of these jacks.
To raise the jack with the foot in the down position an additional rod is inserted into the jack one hole above where you would like to move the position of the foot,... view full answer...
Yes, if you wanted to preserve the life of the Trailer Valet JXS Trailer Jack w/ Footplate # TV34FR you could easily pull the pin out of the jack like you mentioned and pull the jack off of the trailer. view full answer...
The Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack part # JET-3755 will draw 30 amps under load. If you attached the 10 gauge power wire on the jack to the 12 volt pin on the trailer side trailer connector and the 12 volt trailer connector circuit on the vehicle was rated for 30 amps then yes, technically you could use the vehicle's battery to power the jack.
However, the distance the power must travel from the vehicle's battery to the jack will put too much stress on the motor and is not recommended.... view full answer...
The Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack, part # UF38-944017, requires a 12V power source. You have a couple of options for getting power to the power jack. You can use a quick connect like part # DL24086, and run a wire from the towing vehicle battery, which would enable you to unplug the connector when you are not towing the trailer.
The other option for wiring is to attach the power jack wiring to the trailer mounted battery. The power trailer jack has an internal ground, so you will only... view full answer...
If you wanted to mount the Engager Breakaway Kit part # 20099 to your jack on your trailer the recommended method is to use the weld on bracket part # HM20107. This will get welded to the jack or trailer frame and then with the included hardware you would secure the battery box to it.
I would only use the trailer jack as an install point if your trailer has a non-swiveling jack that has square tubing. view full answer...
You would want to use the Scissor Jack part # UF48-979002 to level the trailer and would not need to also use a separate jack to do the lifting. These scissor jacks would operate similarly to jacks that come with vehicles for changing the spare.
That being said you would not want to use these to lift the wheels in the air. view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Dutton-Lainson, the manufacturer of the Bolt-On, Drop Leg Trailer Jack, # DL22320, about its functions. The jack can be cranked when there is a load on it to raise and lower the trailer as needed.
When the jack is off the ground, you can remove that bottom pin to lower or raise the foot in 3-1/2 inch increments, then replace the pin. This is used so you would not have to do as much cranking. The foot cannot be raised or lowered when the jack has weight applied. view full answer...
It is not possible to wire any other electrical components, apart from lights and low-power items such as the on-off circuit for a backup camera, to the lighting circuits on a trailer. Connecting any power-hungry device to lighting circuits would result in excessive current draw and could potentially damage the trailer wiring harness and/or the wiring in the vehicle itself.

The reason the jack handle is put on the side of the jack is for a couple reasons. If it cranked the way you referenced it would potentially interfere with the frame of your trailer as it would crank across it, and it would be kind of awkward to crank the jack as you would have to swing the handle in across the trailer frame. Where it's at now the person cranking the jack has complete access to the full range of motion of the crank handle. This would be helpful when jacking a heavy trailer.

The Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944037 that you referenced is designed to get power from the tow vehicle by connecting to the vehicle's 7-Way trailer connector. The connector on the jack will plug into the vehicle's 7-Way socket in place of the trailer's connector.
The jack has a 7-Way RV-style plug that uses the ground and 12V power wire connections at the rear of your tow vehicle in order to power the jack. The # UF38-944037 is a great jack option for trailers that do not... view full answer...
