Trailer Jack for Coachmen Freedom Express 192 RBS

The bottle jacks I have on hand will not reach high enough to a secure jacking point on our trailer frame. What do you recommend? Larger bottle jack? Andersen Rapid Jack? Other?

Also, seems to be some discussion about the proper jacking point on our 192 RBS. A call to our dealer was just a little too imprecise for my liking.

Your thoughts?

Why not carry pressure treated 4x6 wood blocks, approximately 12 inches in length, installed under the bottle jack and raise the trailer at the frame near the wheels being careful not to interfere with a propane gas line.

If the trailer is not hooked to the truck be sure to chock the wheels on the opposite side. Once you lift the tounge it can easily try to make an escape from the campsite.

Thats what i got. A bottle jack and cut some 2x4s to block it up so the jack will reach.
