I, too, interpret the question for a tire change. Hydraulic floor jack and stands are great for working under the van at home, but no way will you carry a set-up like that while travelling. Despite one of the poster's opinions, I WOULD recommend a bottle jack. As someone else identified, get one with enough rated lift to do the job easily. My RT comes in at 9500 pounds fully loaded (tanks full, gear, us and the dog, etc). I have had to change tires at least 4 times in the past 10 years. I guess if you don't take it to remote spots you could rely on road service, but where we venture the roads are gravel, cell service is often non-existent, and help is many miles and/or hours away. Think I carry a 6 or 8 ton rated bottle jack. Also a couple of 2x8 boards. I like to place the jack on a board to prevent it from sinking into the ground (yes, even hot tar "gives"). also makes it easier to remove the jack when done. ST
