Whoever said you can't support the camper by the frame?
A picture is worth a thousand words ... no, not my camper.

The only problem with jacking under the axle is many are made with ridiculously thin tubing and they can be bent.
Okay, now that makes sense.
My thought was that the wheels are attached to the hubs that are attached to the axle. So your just supporting it from another position. But if you put a vertical pressure point on the tube that normally has a horizontal load on it, I get that it may bend if its weak.
Really though when you change a flat you're not jacking up the entire trailer if it has more then one axle. You're just raising up one half of one axle.
The majority of the load is still on all the other wheels and the trailer tongue or tongue jack.
