On my second camping trip with the new trailer, I had adjusted the bars and put the jack up just enough to put all of the weight on the tongue thinking that I would put it all the way up before I pulled out. I then pulled forward to remove the leveling blocks from the wheels, continued with everything, and completely forgot the jack was still mostly down. The campsite had a small lip between the gravel pad and the asphalt road. As I pulled out, I heard a scraping sound, but being a newbie I thought it was just the WD bars making noise. I didn't hear anything afterward, so I started on my way. Thankfully the camp host was paying attention and flagged us down in his golf cart. Sure enough, I bent my brand new jack. I was able to get it up and I'm still using it. It bogs down a little, but not too much. It's a good reminder to me to check everything before pulling away. One of these days I'll replace it, but I'll probably end up putting it on the horse trailer.
