Placing the bottle jack as in the photo can cause a weak spot in the frame that can cause the frame to fail. Be sure to place wood or metal to spread the force out over more of the frame. Too much weight on the small 1 inch jack. Don't ask how I know, but you can find a good used TT in NM with a broken frame if you want to use it as . . :M . . "do not move" trailer.
That's what I was thinking. Not the correct place to put a jack.

He has torsion axles, not springs. Where would you suggest he position the jack?

Do you have a dual axle TT? And are they they close together or spread apart? If they are close, you can just ride up on a few leveling blocks, and it will pop the other tire off the ground. If you want to spend the money on a tool specifically for it instead of using blocks, you can use a Trailer-Aid.
