Changing Tires
We are new to RVing and I'm trying to outfit our new 27ft Cougar with all the necessary equipment. Is it better to use a tire change ramp or a hydraulic jack to lift a tire off the ground for removal?...

If you use a trailer aide or blocks to raise the flat off the ground are you not placing all the weight carried by both tires onto one tire and is that really a good idea?
Dead right....don't use a ramp.
LOL if one is flat is not the weight already on the other ?
Not so much, the way the suspension works there is still lots of weight transferred to the ground with a flat tire. That is why you need a proper sized jack to raise the flat enough to change it.
