Have some people done this with one side of the trailer still on the ground - wheels weighted- wheels weighted? .
See my answer above, I think some are not reading what you are asking.
You definitely are understanding what I'm asking. At first I didn't think much of it, but now I think about I'm tending to agree with you. The fulcrum part you mentioned is true, but it will be pushing the axle downward on the unfastened/raised side, so you could support it with a jack. The big worry for me is if there was any slope or tendency towards rolling - with the weighted side chocked, it could put a fore/aft force on the axles and might be really hard to get back aligned. And that could be tough to recover from.
Sucks because I'm full time in a 22' TT. The stuff to raise the whole trailer up in the air at once eats a lot of space. I can already do one side with normal jackstands and a bunch of 4x4. Harbor Freight has some nice 25" 6-ton stands for $39.99 I'll just get (TT is 20" to frame bottom). Guess I'll just have to find something to throw away so I can store them somewhere.
