Replacement Jack for 1997 Starcraft Meteor 814 Classic  

Updated 08/05/2021 | Published 08/04/2021



Question:

I have a 1997 Starcraft Meteor 814 Classic tent trailer that we bought used about 12 years ago. The jack that was on there had a wheel, and was mounted in the center of the a-frame with an attachment that bolted onto the trailer. When the jack broke two years in, I replaced it with a side-mount marine jack with a wheel which is flimsy and about to break because I couldnt find an option to replace the original. The two pictures Ive attached show what I think is called the coupler, and the adapter attachment that would hold the jack. Can you help me find one that would work here? Thank you so much in advance!!

We don't offer a replacement jack that would be compatible with the bracketry you show in your photo, but we do offer an option that would work for you.

Folks use side-mount jacks on A-frame trailers all the time, but as you found they're not very stable because of the tilting force placed on them because the load is off-center. I'd recommend replacing your existing coupler with part # CA-5100-Z which would provide a strong and secure mounting location for the jack. The coupler is a weld-on application but a professional welder would be able to install it pretty quickly at a reasonable cost. A trailer jack like part # TJA-2002-B would be a good, inexpensive choice. If you'd like to add a caster wheel, one is available as part # JC-102 or for a foot plate, you could use part # JF-99.

I've linked to some product videos for the parts mentioned above.
