Blocking up camper for the winter
We are new at camping and have a travel trailer with tandem axles. When I store the camper I would like to block the axles as to have the tires off the ground. What would be the best way to do this?...

That's it - never saw the need to jack up the TT, and was always afraid to do it because of potential strain on the frame or other components. I'd also be hesistant to walk around inside the TT when jacked up, since it is designed to transfer weight loads to the axles and wheels. And I'm not sure what stresses I'd be putting on the slide out when jacking the frame.

And if you have read my post from last year on jacking up a trailer with scissor jacks (my experiment) you would be shocked at just how far you can bend a frame with very little force applied. I would NOT ever jack up a travel trailer frame for anything short of necessary repairs, it just isn't worth the risk.
