Default cobra trailer brake lever gas strut failure?

I already had the roll pin fall out of the tongue jack handle which
allowed the inside of the jack to drop causing the wheel to self
destruct on Cedar City main street a few years ago.

Any roll pins should be checked and replaced with cotter pins if they
are loose. The Ace Hardware store in Parowan has an amazing stock of
hardware for such a small town.

Any other tips on bits that fall off Cobra trailers?

Andy,

I always remove the jack and store it in the front of the trailer for
travel. Not having the wheel hanging down gives a wee bit more clearance,
but the main reason to do this is to avoid distributing the wheel over
lengthy stretches of roadway.

That's way to much hassle for me. I don't get any wheel contact with
the new wheel which is smaller diameter than the one smeared over
Cedar City main street.

The jack body clamp works just fine as long as the pinch trap is
avoided.
