Question:
How does this tongue jack travel? Does it fold up to fit trailer frame?

Great question, Suzanne!
The Ultimate Trailer Jack # UJ44FR is designed to simply adjust all the way up for storage using the spring-loaded lever when you're ready for travel. This gets the wheel completely off the ground and high enough to avoid any clearance issues. That lever I mentioned makes this maneuver super quick and easy, too.
This is different than similar jacks that actually swing/fold up and out of the way, becoming parallel with the trailer frame. I attached a picture to give you a better idea of how this particular one works.
Let me know if you have any questions and I'd love to hear where you typically set up camp (lakeside, camping grounds, etc)!

I own 2 of these jacks without the wheel A frame mount and 1 side mount with wheel they are an excellent jack. I purchased the side mount for an enclosed utility trailer so the truck tailgate could be opened with trailer attached. I found the wheel hung too low and would drag over large dips at entrances. to resolve this issue I sawed off the wheel and bracket and used a wheel and bracket that was removable. works perfect now, unfortunately this side mount is only available with the wheel. if I needed another I would do the same thing. try the one with a wheel and see if if works for you. If not get out the hacksaw.
