Can Side Mount Jack Install on A-Frame Trailer to Replace A-Frame Jack for Better Ground Clearance
Question:
Having trouble backing my Pop up camper into my driveway because it has a steep incline. The problem is my trailer jack with the caster removed scrapes the ground when I back it in. The trailer has an A frame style jack but my question is would i be out with a side mounted swivel jack? I know it would change the jacking point a little left or right of center is the reason I ask. Can it be switched out or do i need to stick with an A frame style jack. 2008 Jayco jay series #1006.

A side mounted jack that you could pivot up and out of the way for better ground clearance would work just fine. The A-frame location is convenient but in a situation like yours you certainly could go with the side mounted style.
For that something like the bolt on Fulton part # FXPD15L would work great. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
