 Topic: Best Trailer Jack to Buy?Posted: July-08-2012 at 9:42pm |

Well, after 36 years of duty on my Southwind trailer, the jack has finally worn out, and I am now in the market for a new one.
My trailer frame has a plate welded to it with a circular pipe welded to it that the old jack would rotate up out of the way with when traveling. Any recommendations for a new one to replace the old? Best place to purchase?? |

That was a waste of money Dave.Buy the extended warranty for the Chinese one you get next.

Most OEM's are Shelby's BUT, they are around 80.00
As opposed to the 20.00 Fulton's and the Dutton-Lainson's. |

I appreciate the advice on those Shelby units. I had not heard of them. I did check out Skidim, and they had one (not sure of brand) for $50.00.
I hope I can get 36 years out of the next one. Probably better not go the Chinese route then.

I heard the double wheel jacks were much easier to work with. Has anyone tried one?
