Thanks for the link !


I considered the fancy Fulton for my ASH 26 E trailer, but decided it did not have
the lift I wanted, and had too many negative reviews. I bought this by
Dutton-Lainson, which has worked very well for two seasons:

Dutton-Lainson Co 22210 DLX Tongue Jack

It is far sturdier than the lighter weight tongue jack I was using, and easily
handles the 220 lb tongue load of the trailer.

Your tongue must not have the parking brake assembly that is bolted to mine.. There is no access to the tongue itself - I have to use the mounting plate that has a hole pattern that matches the much-maligned Cobra tongue wheel (approx. 4" x 2", but I am sure that is metric), which I have to remove completely every time I tow it. It bottoms out on my driveway if I don't. I would have to make an adapter plate that accommodates the different mounting hole dimensions.
