IN THE BOX
First, what do you get in the box? The short answer: virtually everything you will need. The only things to supply yourself are the tools required to bolt the 12V trailer jack to the A-frame. A pair of vice grips and a spanner or shifter will do the job.
The shaft of the Outback Trailer Jack is pre-fitted with a steel-plate bracket designed to suit drawbars of various sizes, from 3in to 6in. It’ s just a case of attaching the second steel plate using the four bolts supplied to clamp the jack to the A- frame. This five-minute job requires no special skills beyond the ability to swing a spanner. The integrated mounting plate is one of this jack’ s biggest advantages. The built-in clamp is designed to suit virtually all caravan and boat trailer A-frames, simply clamping onto the drawbar without any modifications.
But how do you power the jack? I was actually pretty pleased on this front. The kit comes with a 5m wiring loom with Anderson plug connections. One end plugs into the jack and the other can be connected to either the caravan or the tow car. The caravan that I had, however, did not have a convenient Anderson plug at the drawbar to supply power.
The kit includes a special wheel attachment and pad to provide a firm foundation on soft ground.
The kit comes with everything you ' ll need to get going except for the basic hand tools you ' ll need for installation.
