Jake: Hey guys. Jake here with etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at, and I'm going to show you how to get in place, the Stromberg Carlson Hitching Post. This is going to hold your plug for your trailer, and the two chains for your safety chains. It's going to keep them in a more organized way than just draping them over the frame of your trailer.The hitching post is going to fit 2" jack tubes, and 2 1/4" jack tubes. Here we have a 2 1/4" jack tube, and they do include two adapter sleeves to put on the front and back of the assembly, to be able to fit those 2" jack tubes.Here you can see we have it mounted on our electric jack.
It's also going to work for manual jacks. You just have to make sure it's that 2 or 2 1/4" jack tube. The hitching post is going to have a spot for your plug to go, and it'll have a spring loaded cap to be able to keep the elements and dirt and debris out of your plug, so it's going to ensure a better connection when you hook it up to your vehicle.The hooks are nice, because you don't have to drap your hooks over your trailer tongue, so this is going to keep any of this banging away from your trailer, so you don't have to worry about scratching your paint, therefore introducing rust and corrosion.Now that we've gone over some of those features, let's go ahead and show you how we got it in place. You want to make sure you don't pinch your wires. Line up your screw holes, and then insert your screws.
I'm going to take a Phillips head screw driver or a screw gun, and tighten them down. You do want to be careful not to over tighten them, as this piece is plastic.With your screws in place, you can go ahead and lift up on your lid, install your plug, make sure that lid is over the top of the plug to keep it clean, and then take your chains, and hang them on the outside hooks.Well guys, with all that being said, that's going to do it for our look and installation of the Stromberg Carlson Hitching Post.

Ratings & Reviews
Great while it lasts but won’t last long. Very cheaply made. Plastic is weak. Need a metallic option or higher quality plastic. Broke after only a month under the weight of the chains on a snowmobile trailer, definitely not heavy chains.
I was very happy with your product and remarkable service. The unit works well,but I had to use hard case rods to attach to the bottom plate of the tongue (according to the instructions). I also liked the hitch post chain and plug holder.
Cool product to hang the power cord and safty chains.
Item seems to still be holding up to the weather and sun. I do like that my electrical connection and tow chains are no longer hanging all over the frame!

Great! The tween definitely seems to be holding up to the harsh NM sun and dry heat!
The only thing about this hitching post, should have been made for the screws to go in thru the front. Other than that, the hitching post is what I needed.
Easy to install. Have received excellent products from etrailer. Only issue I’ve had is the shipping. Would recommend purchasing from etrailer.

This product was so worth it. Every time you use it, it keeps chains and cord organized. Living in a climate of the four seasons, the quality holds up. No cracking or broken off pieces. One year later is like taking it out of the package the first day. I would highly recommend.

This one is better than the one that came with my camper, that got broken when I took my camper into the BIG CAMPER STORE for inspection. Will continue to purchase items I need from etrailer.
Having this hitching post installed provides a secured location for your chains and trailer plug. Easy to install and looks professional.
Perfect fit and works great!
I only have a 14 inch tongue short tongue on my cargo trailer this is the only jacket would work for me boulders right on easy to use works perfect thank you
Thas is very cool !!Works !!!
It is easy to install with 2 screws and it keeps your 7 pin and chains off of the ground. It's well made and convenient to use. I would buy it again.
Products were easy to install and worked great.
Excellent solution to a nagging problem!
Great product!
Perfect solution for my chains…
Good fit but I wish they used metal thread inserts to avoid the plastic cracking. Would buy again however.
Easy install. Works just as intended
Convenient way to organize chains and plugs. Good quality plastic.
First thing I did was take out the screws that are supposed to screw into a plastic part and drill them out. Replace them with stainless steel Bolts Hand locking nuts. The slots for the finger pools on the plug did not fit down into the Slots For the plug cradle. Had to modify the plug to fit down in the slots and stay. For the money, it's a plastic plug. We'll see how long it lasts. The parts that hold the chain seems substantial enough.
Easy to install. Works great.
This product is top notch and is easily installed! I love it and will recommend this product to purchase from etrailet

Still looks like new and has withstood heat and cold weather very well.
I love the functionality of this hitching post, it makes keeping the chains and breakaways off the ground. Unfortunately this is the second hitching post for us. The first one broke, the plastic cracked and it no longer held anything up. This one is working great and I hope it holds up.

Still working great after a year. Love how this keeps everything nest and tidy.
It is the little things that make me happy. This is a great value for me, no more chains on the ground and electric plug stays nice and clean away from moisture so terminals want corrode. Very sturdy plastic, fits perfectly. Fast shipping and always a pleasure dealing with Molly and her team. This wasn’t my first purchase from etrailers and it want be my last. Check them out folks, you want be disappointed. They even price matched for me on a previous purchase. etrailers you rock!

Still working flawlessly. Thanks trailer for great customer service!
I love the idea of this product but it should come with small bolts with nuts instead of the screws it comes with that only bite into the plastic. I installed the provided screws with a hand screwdriver and immediately stripped out the plastic holes. Now I'll need to find some small bolts and fix it the way it should have come in the first place.
