The Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover # STC-V211 does not always have to be attached to the trailer. The mount is able to stay on the frame and you can store the mover in your trailer, vehicle or leave at home. I personally prefer to mount it on the passenger side of the trailer tongue as it feels more comfortable there but you can use it on whichever side is best for you.
