Do the jacks on the trailer have to be mounted so the feet are inline with, or perpendicular, to the frame?

I believe so but I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered. You could find out for sure by calling Hanscomb Ent. toll free @ 1-866-498-8754 ask for Kathy. Paul Hanscomb has been really helpful to me thru e-mails so I'm sure he or his staff would be happy to answer your questions. Good Luck! Al Irwin

Usually on most trailers, the jacks on one end are inline, or perpendicular... but they do not have to be... as long as you can reach the frame rail with the stabilizer bar you should be fine... the idea behind the sytsem is to simulate having three points of contact, which make the most level plane, so one corner of the camper has the stabilizer bars going both ways, front to back , and side to side....

I installed mine as shown in the picture. I believe it's the only way due to the predrilled holes, ect...They work great. As shown, the single toe, if you will, is facing forward of landing leg/RV. Concerning the the other two toes, one is attached going to the left rear frame, and the other to the right front frame (towards the other landing leg). Hope that helps.

Mine were angled as well. No issues at all installing them. My stabilizer jacks have solid round bases and I ended up using the 2 supplied landing pad feet. I may end up purchasing 2 more feet just to give the base of the jacks a little bigger footprint. I do highly recommend this system. It does not eliminate 100% of the shake but i would say it is 95% better. That said I have only camped on grass surfaces since installing. I will see if it gets closer to 100 percent shake free at the end of the month as I will be parked on a hard surface.

Provided that there is enough of the hitch exposed. That looks like it varies by design. Our setup measures 32" from the very front tip of the hitch to the very back of the pieces that bolt to the frame. Those little upright pieces in the pic clamp around the box tubing of the trailer frame, and stay attached when you unhitch. You will need room to put on and remove the nuts from the threaded ends, in addition to that 32".

You have to measure your trailer from front to back. Don't include your hitch portion. Then order accordingly.

Mike, it would be quite easy to bolt on attachments. Kiaks should be fine load wise but I have had problems with heavier loads with this type of trailer

Yes. I laid mine on a love seat with the bottom on the arm of the seat so the bottom was angled upwards for easy access. The process of securing the feet is not exactly an easy one. The fasteners are a very very tight fit. So, I used a cordless drill with screw adapter. This made it fast and easy. Careful not to strip the screw heads if you do it this way.

I use two jacks for my 26-foot trailer. Three would be better. My trailer seems to be softly sprung, and these jacks remove most of the jiggle and sway. They're light, easy to store and easy to use, and they do a much better job of stabilization than standard jacks, especially under the frame near a slide-out. I really like them.

If the ground is level enough and the load in the trailer is well balanced, it won't raise the side too high to be safe.Frank is right about needing to put a two-by ramp under the Trailer Aid, but that's no problem.

I also have a 2 in frame. There is a plate welded to the jack to fit on one side of the frame and a loose plate that you will bolt on to it from the other side of the frame. The plate could probably fit up to a 4in frame but as you tighten the bolts, it does not move or slide. I have not had any issues or worries about the integrity of the jack moving at all.

If you are going to use the control, you'll need the extra tab beside the actual hitch. The control connects to that hole in the tab then typically its bolted to one side of the steel frame on your trailer. Makes such a huge difference!

The power jack mounts on the tongue in the front of the trailer. Three bolts. Pretty easy. I don't understand your question "for rear."

Sorry but I sold the trailer it was mounted on and cannot tell you the answer. But I can tell u it was a very good trailer jack that worked extremely well and was very easy to mount on my SeaDoo trailer.

Yes, I have the jack on my utility trailer. It is easy to crank. It cranks up and down slowly but surely.

You're going to have to drill holes to mount the bolts into. So, as long as you can do that? Yes. You might want to mount it on stabilized portions of the trailer.

No, you cannot hook a trailer to the basket. There is no opening to allow for that.

The triangle flange on the jack fits into a hole in the trailer frame and is held in place with 3 bolts.
