Tongue Jack Fundamentals Trailer Levelling and Stabilization

Ah, the lowly tongue jack. This is one device that doesn’t get the respect it deserves. But it’s no wonder because when it comes to RV products with ridiculous sounding names, this takes the cake! Nevertheless, despite the vaguely creepy nomenclature, a tongue jack is one product you definitely won’t want to leave home without.

What is a Tongue Jack?

A tongue jack is a mechanical lifting device fixed to the front tongue of a trailer — the part that connects to your tow vehicle’s hitch. Its job is to raise and lower the front end of the trailer so you can hitch and unhitch without wrestling the whole rig.

Why Choose an Electric Tongue Jack?

An electric model does the same job at the push of a button. You can lift, lower and level your trailer quickly, with far less physical effort and a good deal less setup time at the end of a long drive.
