Choosing a Replacement A-Frame Trailer Jack for Pop-Up Camper
Question:
Upon purchasing a pop up camper I didnt crank my trailer jack up enough and bent the bottom support on my driveway approach. It looks standard enough on the mounting, but noticed you list some replacement jacks for agriculture and/or commercial applications. Do you recommend any certain type over another for my application on my camper trailer?

Expert Reply:
I will assume you are looking for an A-frame mounted jack, because that is what pop-ups typically use, and because that is the part you referred to.
The bolt hole pattern is standard, so matching up with the holes in the trailer tongue should not be a problem. You would want to choose a jack whose capacity is greater than the tongue weight of the pop-up, which is typically 10-15 percent of the fully loaded trailer weight.
The Dutton-Lainson # DL22781 jack you mentioned should have more than enough capacity for your pop-up. A foot, part # DL22542 or a caster, part # DL22539.
I have linked you to a video showing the trailer jack being installed, as well as to an FAQ article with more information about trailer jacks.
