Tongue Jack Fundamentals Trailer Levelling and Stabilization

Ah, the lowly tongue jack. This is one device that doesn’t get the respect it deserves. The name may sound odd, but if you plan on going anywhere with your RV, this is essential equipment.

What is a Tongue Jack?

A tongue jack is a mechanical device mounted on the front “tongue” of your 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.

Key features of a tongue jack

• Maintenance made easy — quick height adjustments for tire changes and inspections

Benefits of using one

• Convenience — no more physically demanding manual lifting
• Safety — reduces the risk of tipping and accidents while loading
