Question:

I need assistance in picking out an electric trailer jack, as I know very little about them. It will be for a small travel trailer. I will want a narrow one in hopes it can go sideways and hoping the back of my SUV can still open, and one that isnt bothered by dirt road.

No worries Lorelei, I'm here to help! Very nice name by the way; I've never met a Lorelei. You probably can't say the same about my name though haha.

Anyways, an electric jack is more of an upright only jack, whereas the manual options can have the ability to swivel to the stowed/concealed position for storage. Do you know if you have the mounting hole cutout already there on the a-frame tongue of the trailer? See the attached photo. If so, then you can go with something like the etrailer Electric Trailer Jack 2,000 lbs # e64GV, but keep in mind it won't swivel since it's electric. It sticks up from the trailer frame mounting area about 19-1/2".

If you are set on a swivel jack, you can go with the high quality Trailer Valet jack # TV64FR. This bolts on to the side of any A frame trailer as long as the frame is no taller than 4-3/4" tall x 3-3/4" deep. You can send a picture of your frame to [email protected] if you are uncertain about fitment. This jack is manual but can also be powered by a cordless drill which is super neat and user-friendly.

Both jacks will hold up well to dirt and elements.

I think the image I attached will help you figure out what fits your trailer.
