I used to take small floor jacks but they are too old so I'm looking to get something just for the camper.

This is not the time to save $15 on a 2 ton jack vs. an eight ton. โJust getting byโ gets old real fast.

As one poster say just jack one end of the axle just enough to get the spare back on. That way I'm not lifting the whole side of the trailer.
What ever method you use do a dry run at home especially with those drive on blocks. Lots of members over the years found out they didn't work with their trailers suspension.

6 ton bottle jack. I won't use those trailer aids as they put all the weight of one side on one axle. A bottle jack only lifts the flat tire an inch or so and the other tire stays on the ground so that side of the trailer is supported by both axles.
I have 5200 lb axles. TT has 7850 lbs on the axles. 1/2 of 7850 is 3925.
1/2 of 5200 is 2600 lbs.
I'd be supporting 3925 lbs with 2600 lbs of axle using a trailer aid.
You do realize, your axles likely see 10,000lb or more when they hit a pothole at 60mph.
Jacking is for practical purposes a static loading situation. The ratings are based on dynamic loading.
That said, we have a 3 ton floor jack and if it's squishy ground, the leveling planks can be put down to support it.
