Not sure what you mean by trailer jack. One for in case you have a flat tire we use a small floor jack

Depends on your preferences. If you are parking yours on a paved surface and wish to move it a short distance from point a to b you would probably want one. In our case we are usually boondocking or camping on soil or soft surfaces so all I bring is a 12" piece of wolmanized 6 x 6 to put under the jack on the tongue. Have been doing it that way with our pod for 5 years.

Especially when you have a WDH, since you need to raise it twice to hook up and twice to unhook, an electric jack is awesome.

I replaced the standard FR tongue jack with a Bal swivel jack with wheel. Makes moving the trailer around, a breeze. Just took a closer look at Techntreks picture. Same jack. Safe Travels.

I put a wheel on our 179. It is easily removable for travel, but allows me to roll it a few inches one way or the other when hitching up on concrete. I also have a "dog dish" plastic stand that the wheel drops in and it works well as a chock. It was left over from the tent trailer I replaced with the 179.
