Replacement Jack Handle Recommendation for a 1980 Scamp Travel Trailer

Question:

Hello I have a 1980 Scamp 10 foot Trailer, and I need a jack handle. there are no part numbers etc on the trailer, but being that it is rated at like 900 lbs, will this work on an older model jack such as a 1980

In order to recommend a replacement handle that will work with the jack on your 1980 Scamp trailer I would need to know the brand and type of jack on the trailer. Jack handles are not universal items and are specific to certain jacks.

If you have no way of finding what brand of jack that you have, then I would recommend replacing the entire jack. I would recommend going with a lower capacity jack like the Dutton-Lainson Swivel Jack, # DL22300.

This jack will fit trailer frames up to 3 inches wide x 5 inches tall, has a weight capacity of 800 lbs and has a 10 inch lift.

If you are able to determine the brand and capacity of your jack, then let me know so I can see if a replacement handle might be available.
