Expert Reply:
There is no bolt-on jack made for a round tube trailer frame since this would make securing the jack rather difficult; it would want to rotate around the frame tube whenever it was under load.
You will need to have some steel material welded to your frame to allow jack installation. You can use a pipe-mount type like Dutton-Lainson # DL22685 which includes the weld-on pipe section.
