Tounge Foot

Do you think this will be safe overall? Its a 12" length of 2" PVC with a Grade 8 5/16 x 3" bolt. Camper is a 19 foot ultralite model.

Thanks again.

I don't see a weight rating on that stand. I wouldn't trust it on anything other than maybe a popup. Too weak.

Steel or wood is the way to go.

Weight rating is 10,000lbs.
I have been using one for the past 7 or 8 years with no problems. My tongue weight is 1300lbs.

The linked page says "Sturdy molded poly stand supports up to 10,000 lbs."

I guess I don't see the point in it. Just use a hole saw and cut a hole in a piece of PT or hemlock to fit the jack pole and then nail it to another piece of PT or hemlock to make a solid bottom. Weigh a bit more but cost less than what you have spent and wont fall apart ever.

When the PVC splits, your post will crash to the pavement and probably bend, fold,and land on the coupler, possibly bending it, as well as and rendering the trailer useless... Take it off before it causes you a bigger problem or hurts someone..

Safer than a pvc roll cage..........not by much though.

What they said. I'd be very afraid of it.

[beemerphile1]

NO! A little sideways twist to that trailer and the tongue is on the ground.

[dodge_guy]

No! eventually that hole in the PVC will wallow, open up and split the PVC allowing the tongue to drop unexpectedly!

No - looks very unstable. The base is much too narrow. Spend a few bucks and get the right one..

NO WAY
