Question:

Regarding this item: what is the length of the handle, from the center of the jack post to the end? I need to adapt this to an 1964 Airstream Land Yacht and the propane tanks sit right in front of the jack assemble. If its too long, it turns into a knuckle buster when winding the jack up, or down. Thanks for any info. If the handle is under 5 1/2 inches, then this will work perfectly !!

What I suggest is a sidewinding handle pointed away from the obstruction like # TJA-5000S-B. But to answer your question the handle measures 6-1/2 inches from the center of the jack to the end of the handle. It is just 1 inch too long so I would go with a sidewind jack. I have also linked powered A-frame jacks for you as another option.
