My last tt I had, the suspension was torsion and I used a plate on the frame and a bottle jack.

6 years with no issues.

My "big" 5er has leafs and I jack directly under the axle where the axle pad is.
3 years and no issues.

Just bought 4 of these so I can put 2 in the truck and 2 in TOWTA's junker. Never really thought about it before, but they sure could come in handy while changing a tire, etc while stopped on the road.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to have both a jack and trailer aid tucked away in the trailer.

For my emergency items I am now planning on taking only OldCoot's phone number since I plan on staying local this year.

How am I gonna fit all this stuff in??? Taking my 3 ton floor jack, jack stands, 50 gal air compressor, impact wrench and generator.

So can we agree on what is the best spot to place the jack when changing a tire?

We had the Equaflex suspension added to our Sabre last spring so I was a little concerned the Trailer aid wouldn't lift the tire high enough to be able to change it. I pulled the rig up on the Trailer aid to test things out and it worked, lifted it just aenough for the "bad" tire to spin freely off the gound. I should point out the test was on a level drive at the trailer storage lot. Roadside conditions might produce a different result. Like OC, I'm hoping I never find out.

When you figure out how to mount the work bench and vise to the side of the trailer would you post pictures please?

Akrobins for spare parts?

I'm most concerned about where I'm going to put my CNC mill and paint booth (for the final touches...who likes a job that's only done halfway???)
