Cobra makes it so you can take it off while traveling. If you leave it on, its
your own fault, so you gets what you get, a bent rim, unrollable tire, or what
Andy got. Take it off and store it while traveling, I do. Oh, I did bend a rim
while leaving it on once, daaaaaaa never again. # 711.
Several people indicated the wisdom of removing the jack. All I
wanted to do was to alert people to the fact that it had a failure
mode that I had not anticipted.
I used a Minden fab trailer for over 15 years. The jack folded up in
about 2 seconds, cleared the road, and never fell down. The Cobra
trailer cost over half what I paid for my last trailer with gider
inside. I expected it to work and not to have to dismantle it before
I used it.
