Default Kickstand for trailer tongue?
Looking for a folding stand for my harbor freight tagalong. Looked on line, and in harbor freight and tractor supply, and am only finding one that are for heavier duty use.

I don’t need it to have a wheel, or hold a bunch of weight, just something simple, like a kickstand so I don’t have to bring a jack stand when I uncouple from the bike.

any DIY or purchase suggestions?

First thing I took off my Aluma. Always thought it was kind of a pain in the butt to deal with. Shouldn't be to tough to build one.

You can look for something called an adjustable stabilizer jack stand like the Atwood AT82298 or a tongue stand.

Why make things complicated ? A short section of PVC pipe standing on end in the tongue to the ground.

i bought an adjustable length one at Walmart, just doesn’t seam to be to sturdy. I’m planning on playing with it but not sure I like it.

I want something like this, but I can’t seem to find anything like this for sale. It’s an aspen trailer
kickstand, but their website directs me to distributors with very generic websites with no way to order.

thanks for the suggestion, ended up ordering a folding step stabilizer stand on eBay for $17. I am pretty sure I can make this work.

Looks like it's $39 and it's called a Tongue Stand (fits 2” box tongue)
you can order it direct from Aspen or from one of their resellers.
