The one time I changed a tire, I unloaded the camper while I did it. Much easier and safer in the long run. I realize there are some situations where this wouldn't be feasible. But if you are in a place where it is possible why wouldn't you take the camper off? Off and on again is no big deal I do it all the time.
How is an extra minimum 30 minutes' effort "easier" and what does it do to make the process "safer?"
The one time I changed a tire, I put the jack under the axle at the flat. The jack would not lift the camper, truck, and trailer tongue so I ended up using the trailer tongue jack to lift some weight off the rear axle of the truck. Once I did that, the jack worked. At no time did I feel at all threatened or at risk. Other than wishing for an electric impact wrench, or not having the flat in the first place, I could not have asked for things to go more smoothly.
