Richard,
Forget the jockey wheel.......just because it came with one doesn't mean you need one.
Although a good question ..... I have never had the need to move my small trailer around, However anyone can replace the foot that comes with the jack with a wheel. No problem. It was such an easy installation. In my case ( T 16 queen), the 12 v jack is only 12 inches from the power source( battery).
I place the jack on a one foot piece of choice deck material that makes the jack very easy to slide for minor adjustment, which I rarely do.

The electric jack is a pretty drastic mod. How are you moving the trailer after that is fitted? that is what kind of jockey wheel are you fitting to the jack to be able to move the trailer around?From: mally0909 <mally0909@yahoo.com>

STEP 1 Support tongue with jack and sturdy blocks.
STEP 2 Remove Jockey Wheel, throw it to the curb for the trash guy and don't forget to include the imfamous Bungee cord!!!..... I mean any standard operating procedure which requires a bungee cord or duct tape I am not comfortable with.
STEP 3 Remove plastic shroud
STEP 4 Weld Electric Jack ...~$250 installed
STEP 5 Press a button and have a beer
After a friend of mine broke their finger manually raising the jockey wheel and collaping on his finger, I immediately made the switch. Best thing I ever did.
