Fifth wheel jack points

My Mobile Suites owners manual sez to jack the trailer up at the frame. Why the frame? Why not at the axle spring shackle?

Dunno, but if the manufacturer wrote that, that would settle it for me.

My little ol' Jayco ultra lite has the same jacking instructions as your Suites. To change a tire, my owners' manual instructs to jack on the frame with a board between the jack and frame, and the jack adequately "cribbed", just forward of, or just to the rear of the tire you wish to change. They specifically warn against jacking on any portion of the axle tube or trailer suspension. I tried it "their" way, it works fine, but with roadside assistance, I hope I never need to do it. Worried more about my "frame" on the side of the road than the trailer's..........:B
