Jack

I carry a little 8 ton bottle jack that I've had for years.

Not sure how a bottle jack is gonna 'tip', unless you don't chock the other wheels, or if it's still attached to the TV and you actually use the parking brake... :)

I can't count how many people I see park their vehicle, and NOT apply the parking brake... But, that's not the point of this thread.. ;)

Scissor jacks work just as well too, so choose your poison and go with it..

I have #5000 scissor jacks on all 4 corners and can and have raised one side with the rear ones... No issue at all for me.. But, I've only got a 22' TT, so if you have a 30'+ one, might not want to do that.. :)

But, the factory tow vehicle scissor jack should work just as well.

I use a scissors jack, the bottle jacks are rather tippy. In addition, a scissors jack is much shorter for getting under the jack point when a tire is flat. Yes, I have heavy shock mounts that double as a jack point. Jacking at the axle requires little lift, but some axle tubes are too thin. Jacking on a spring plate should not be a problem.

I use the truck jack, and just to make it better. The lug wrench fits the TT lugs.

However I am thinking of mounting 2.5 ton scissiors jacks just behind the rear wheels on both sides. Than all I would need to do would be to place my leveling wood blocks under them and run them down

This is the same jack I've had in my truck for basically 'forever'.. I don't even remember how old it is, but I've had it for a loooong time..

I've used my truck jack in a pinch and since then have used and carried a bottle jack . I also carry 4"x6"x1' blocks in case I need to raise the jack up if needed on the side of a road, on a soft spot, etc... I also use the wood blocks under the stabilizer jacks when I'm in my campsite.

6 ton bottle jack and some blocks of wood.

I have used my truck jack and also drove one of the tandem wheels up on some boards.

Do you have a dual axle TT? And are they they close together or spread apart? If they are close, you can just ride up on a few leveling blocks, and it will pop the other tire off the ground. If you want to spend the money on a tool specifically for it instead of using blocks, you can use a Trailer-Aid.

I do have AAA RV Roadside service so I would call and have them change the tire
