Where to place jack when changing flat tire?

[plasticmaster]

On my last camper to change a flat, I always used a bottle jack under the frame to jack up the travel trailer. It had normal dual axles. My new camper (Forest River Vibe) has spread axles. Also, on the curb side, there is a propane line attached to the bottom of the frame running all the way to the rear bumper mounted grill. Where would be the best location to place the bottle jack if and when I need to change a flat? I'd rather have this figured out ahead of time. Thanks.

Under the axle right where the spring is attached. If the bolts don't damage the axle, your jack won't. Just don't jack from the middle of the axle, only where the spring is.

I always put mine under the shackle.
Never under the frame. You can bend the frame.

Bottom spring perch which is no longer in use since axle flip. Had I not flipped them I'd jack directly under the center of the leafs. I would agree with the comment that it's safer than trying to jack up from the frame which especially on my rig is way too high.

I put my bottle jack under the axle, directly under the spring and just barely lift the tire off the ground. Always have, always will. May not be according to recommendations. But more stable than using blocks and/or extending the jack enough to lift the frame enough to get that same tire off the ground.

I'd suggest to place the jack underneath the spring shackle.

I always use under the spring hangers on all trailers that I've had.

The frame, always the frame and never the axle.
