Question:

How could I mount jack at 90 degree from typical front. Motor is shown facing forward toward tow truck tail gate. I dont have much room here and would like more clearance. It looks like mounting jack 90 deg CW would work well for me. Is this possible. I have 2015 Puma RS25 travel trailer. About 6,000# loaded 6,500#. I see the trailer bolt mounting holes are not symmetrical.

Helpful Expert Reply:

If you wanted to turn the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000 before attaching to the a-frame of your trailer you certainly could. This would allow the front of the jack to be turned so that you'd have more clearance for your tailgate. Or you could go with a longer ball mount like the part # D-26 which would also give you additional clearance. This measures 12-5/8 inches from the ball mount platform hole to the center of the hitch pin hole.
