1,000 lb Sidewind A-frame Jack
Features:
A trailer jack is designed to lift the tongue of your trailer so you can connect the trailer coupler to your hitch ball. To do this, you'll need a jack with a lift capacity high enough to handle your trailer's tongue weight.
Tongue weight is the amount of weight that your trailer applies to the back of your tow vehicle. Typically, your tongue weight should be 10-15% of your total trailer weight (trailer + cargo). In other words, a 10,000-lb trailer would have a tongue weight between 1,000 lbs and 1,500 lbs. For a trailer this size, you would need a jack with a lift capacity of at least 1,500 lbs.
It's okay to have a jack with a weight rating that is higher than your trailer's tongue weight. In fact, a jack with a higher lift capacity should operate more efficiently, allowing you to spend less time cranking and more time camping.
Every jack offers a certain amount of lift or travel. Screw travel is the distance the jack extends when you crank it (or toggle it to "extend" on an electric model). Some jacks include a drop leg for extra adjustability. On these jacks, you'll see the maximum extension of the drop leg listed in the specs as well. Adding the screw travel and drop leg travel together will give you the total lift. The total lift listed above can help you determine how high this jack will be able to raise your trailer.
Does whats its supposed to.
Exactly what I was looking for. A jack that has a 2-inch outer diameter.
I would only say that the retracted "up" position of the jack does NOT have enough ground clearance , absent the wheel, to guarantee there is NO contact with concrete when entering/exiting a sloped concrete driveway.
The trailer jack for Our old (1996) tent trailer was received in a timely manner in good condition. It was easy to install and appears to work well. Very easy to operate and good instructions were included.
Great service fast shipping
This jack is the perfect fit for our trailer with a 2" hole. etrailer.com had all the details listed (not like other sites) so that I could purchase with confidence. Strong jack with lock on (pin) wheel. etrailer.com is my new go to site for trailer needs.
The jack is great. It was hard to find because it is for an older model pop up camper but Kurt was super helpful and helped me find the right one. This company offers exceptional customer sevice. Incredible attitudes all around. It’s like Disney world but for trailers. Never seen anything like it. I won’t go anywhere else for trailer needs.
Quality part in a reasonable time frame
Easy install....hope it resists rust and corrosion.
Even though the shipping box was all but destroyed, all parts arrived and installation was easy and practical.
This is great! After 9 months of searching for a replacement jack (and 3 jack circumference sizes that did not work)for our 2004 Viking Epic popup camper, this one fits! Its perfect! Thank you! Very happy!
Good quality Jack.
Well constructed and easy to install
It was a perfect fit on a 20 year old trailer. The one it replaced was a disaster, and now I don't have to fight it any more. Solid replacement. Would recommend.
The Jack was easy to install and etrailer was the only place I could find the right one to fit my very old (1999) tent trailer.
Good service. Jack looks good and works well after I reamed 1/16” off the I.D. of the lower hole in my vintage boat trailer frame. The lower Jack mounting frame hole was a slightly smaller diameter than the top Jack mounting hole in the frame. Other than that install went well.
Most 1000 lb jacks are too wide for older camper trailers like mine. This was the only option i could find with a diameter of 2 inches! Took some elbow greasr, but once it went in the rest was easy and the included hardware worked very well. I would recommend adding 3-6 washers as they're not included and make a difference. It cranks clean and smooth! Great product so far. Customer service was very active and helpful in making sure I got what I needed and there were no issues. Odelia was very helpful! Thank you etrailer!
Once I modified my camper tongue, the jack fit and operated flawlessly.
