Its a standard Atwood A-frame, same as on my popup which has the swing-up jack as standard equipment.  The boxed construction of the A-frame arms is very strong.  Older campers used c-channel which wasn't as strong (never add some thing like a weight distribution hitch to a camper with c-channel).

The problem I see with the swing up Tongue Jack is that the ones I have seen are only good to 1000 lbs and the jack installed on the rpod (or at least mine) is good to 2000 lbs.  Also is the frame designed to take the pressure on the side?  I had a Utility trailer that had a flip up that bent the frame due to the weight of the trailer.  Domar (http://www.domarproducts.com/) does sell the wheel and pad that fit the pipe.  You remove the wheel or pad while you are towing

I also use the Domar pad or Wheel depending, mostly the pad I like the solid feel of the tongue with it.  Also brought my front stabilizers from them.  Quick service.
