I would also use a hydraulic bottle jack. Make sure it is short enough to fit under the place you will put it.

Ditto, but also make sure it is TALL enough.... my 8T bottle jack barely reaches the bottom of the frame at full extension, so some 4x4 cribbing is needed to get adequate lift to get the tire off of the ground.
Also a good idea to have a piece of 2x8 or something to put under the jack since bottle jacks will sink in on soft ground.
Whatever you get, test it in the driveway so you have everything you need before you hit the road.
Get a good LUG WRENCH too, the TT lugs may not be the same size as the TV....
I was planning on having some sort of support for the jack to keep it stable and from sinking into ground.
The manual says to use frame support which runs length of trailer just inside tire. I'll have to do some measurements to ensure i can get it low enough and high enough - I was hoping someone had that experience already. I'll post what i find when i can get it tested (less than ideal weather to do that in immediate futures). but will be done well before a trip.
