How it Started
At Black Jack Trailer Jacks we are a family-owned business and we know caravanning because we have caravanned ourselves.
That means we understand what Caravanners want and need to make their lives easier on the adventures.
Our experiences are integrated into every product we design, test, improve and every sale we make.

On The Road
We’ve always had a love of adventure and the great outdoors. In 2018 we ticked off something that had been on our bucket list for decades – to undertake the ultimate road trip around Australia. Departing from Queensland with our trusty LandCruiser and Jayco Adventurer Caravan, we travelled west to Northern Territory and then into Western Australia. After exploring the full length of the west coastline, we travelled across to South Australia, Victoria and then south to Tasmania, before eventually driving up the east coast and back to Queensland.
In one year, we travelled more than 40,000km, witnessed hundreds of breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, visited dozens of natural wonders and attractions, and discovered some incredible places we didn’t even know existed. We also had to manually hitch and unhitch the caravan countless times, a difficult task which became even more of a struggle following an unhitching incident early on in the trip. While a small price to pay for a once-in-a-lifetime travelling experience, we knew there had to be a better way.
Australian Ingenuity
Not long after settling back in Brisbane in late 2019, we purchased the business of Titan RV, a long-established nationwide distributor of quality caravan and trailer parts and accessories. As part of this, we inherited electric trailer jacks that had huge potential but were slow to sell due to their Northern American design and fit which was incompatible with Australian caravans and trailers.
Knowing the value of electric trailer jacks from our own experience, we were committed to finding a solution for Aussies and becoming a valued towing accessories supplier.
After several months of designing and testing different methods of affixing the trailer jack to caravans and trailers, we finally achieved the perfect solution – an adaptable trailer jack bracket with 6 different chassis bolt hole positions that can fit any Australian caravan or trailer A-frame. A first-of-its-kind product, the Black Jack bracket has been officially registered as an Australian Design and patented.
A Success Story Unfolding
Black Jacks are now widely used and enjoyed by thousands of Caravanners in Australia and New Zealand.
Over time we continued to improve the Black Jack including:
The story gets better. In early 2025 we launched the new generation Black Jacks. Better design, build quality and features. These new designs and features were because we listed to customers and understood what they wanted.
The new Black Jack Mini is a slimmed down Black Jack that fits straight into a 50mm jockey wheel clamp, simple but an amazing solution and cost effective.
The fully featured Black Jack Maxi incorporates auto stop that cuts power (just like your garage door opener) when fully retracted and fully extended. The Maxi also features remote control, folding foot, ball bearing worm drive and a massive 2,000kg lift capacity. It simply the biggest, best and most advanced Black Jack available.
Since the development of our flagship product, the Black Jack Trailer Jack, we have gone on to launch a range of other quality trailer jack parts and accessories with the same goals in mind – efficiency, durability and safety for caravanners. We don’t sell a wide range of products; we focus on a small range that we know work really well.
Who would have thought that a good old road trip around Australia would lead to the establishment of the most innovative caravan and towing accessories supplier in the country!
Thanks for being part of the family!
