Frame Mounted Trailer Jack Recommendation for Travel Trailer
Updated 09/26/2025 | Published 05/01/2025 >
Question:
Is there a jack that is made to be just in front of the body of my travel trailer instead of just behind the hitch in the front where it is really in the way?

Hey Cody, thanks for reaching out!
We have quite a few that mount to the trailer frame. I really like the Ark Xtreme Off-Road Swivel Trailer Jack w/ 2 Wheels # ORJW350D because it's the most durable jack we have to offer and it has a 770 lb tongue weight rating.
Is this the style you're looking for, and what is the loaded tongue weight of your trailer?
