Tongue Jack Replacement advice needed.

Havedogwilltravel

I have a 2006 Tab that needs a tongue jack. It looks as if the original was inside a round slot in the V of the frame. The current one is a bolt-on to the side of the frame, which has bent the frame a bit. Looks like it may not have been the proper side bracket. Is there a replacement for the original center jack, and is it possible to bolt or weld it in place? Doesn't look like much surface room for that, or is the outside/one-side of frame with a proper bracket sufficient? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This thread shows the two types of jacks you are describing.

You may have to dig a bit to find a replacement, some of these threads are fairly old.  But, the parts are out there.

They're call a "jockey Wheel" in the UK. Alco is the brand you want. https://www.towingandtrailers.com/product/caravan-motorhome/caravan-parts/caravan-jockey-wheels-2/alko-48mm-pneumatic-caravan-trailer-jockey-wheel/
