My TT weighs about 5000 pounds. Hitch weight is 800. I carry a one ton floor jack with me. Logic sort of tells me that I should be able to get one wheel off the ground with a ton capacity jack. But I'm a newby, and my logic is sometimes not so logical ;)
I don't carry one of those trailer aids either.
Anyway, is a one ton floor jack adequate?
I'm not sure how big a 1 ton floor jack is but all the floor jacks I've ever seen are rather cumbersome to haul along with the TT or FW. It would be easier IMO to just carry around a bottle jack.

Plus they seem to cost less. $20 and you can get a 4ton bottle jack that weighs 8lbs.
