Question:
I have the LC285318 power tongue jack. In several places on this website, you state that the tongue jack can be removed and rotated. When I look at the plate that is attached to the trailer, the bolts are not symmetrical. How would you remove the tongue jack and rotate it when the bolts do not line up with the holes that they are screwed into? Would you have to drill new holes?

Expert Reply:
The 3-bolt mounting flange on the Lippert Electric A-Frame Trailer Jack # LC285318 has a standardized hole pattern. This jack is intended to mount so that the included LED light faces forward toward the tow vehicle to illuminate the coupler and hitch ball. In the specs for this jack I saw nothing mentioned about rotating it.
Similar electric A-frame jacks like # JET-3755 that also has an LED light built-in use a round mounting flange that has a similar mounting hole pattern.
You are correct that this hole pattern is NOT completely symmetrical. There is a triangular shape to the three holes' placement which ensures installation with the light facing forward. For an application that required one of these jacks to face sideways drilling new/larger holes in the trailer mounting plate would be necessary.
There are also swivel type jacks that mount to the side of a trailer frame, rather than at the coupler. An example is part # FXPD15L.
