How it Started
At Black Jack Trailer Jacks we pride ourselves on honesty, reliability and value. These three core beliefs represent who we are as a business, and are integrated into every product we design 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
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.
Having established our reputation as the leading specialist caravan and towing accessories supplier, we continue to take a pragmatic and customer-centric approach to our business by developing innovative solutions to common problems faced by fellow Aussies.
In conjunction with Titan RV, we are also the exclusive import agent and Australian distributor for the best-selling sway control hitches and weight distribution hitches in the USA – Andersen Hitches and Fastway Trailer Products.
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!
We pride ourselves on selling the most durable, performance-worthy trailer accessories.
