Recommended Sidewind A-frame Jack for Small Karavan Utility Trailer

Question:
Hi, I just bought a Karavan utility trailer series KSC-2990-72-10-da and need to replace the jack. Would prefer something other than the top wind version - any recommendations please? Thanks and merry Christmas!

I looked up your Karavan trailer online, and found it has a GVWR just shy of 3000 lbs.
I'd recommend the Pro Series Sidewind A-frame jack, part # PSRV20000103. The jack has a 2000 lb capacity, which is plenty for your small trailer, as the jack won't need to pick up the entire weight of the trailer, just it's tongue weight. The additional capacity means that jack won't need to work very hard and should therefore last you a very long time.
The jack doesn't include a foot plate, which is sold separately as part # PS1400700340. A caster wheel is also available as part # PS1400750340.
The Trailer Valet JXC you'd looked at, part # TV54FR would also work well, but the Pro Series has the same capacity at a much lower cost.
If you click the provided link, you can see an install/demonstration video featuring the Pro Series
# PSRV20000103 jack.
