I'm so glad I searched how to jack a camper up today. I'm looking to pack the bearings and wasn't totally sure how to jack it. I have a single trailer aid, so I would have to repeat the drive up and down 3 times just to do all 4 tires. thanks for the pictures....they did same a million words to me starting with "buy a bottle jack now".

As long as your jack is rated to the GVW of the trailer, you'll be fine. All this talk about tire loading is irrelevant as you're talking static loading versus dynamic loading. When you have the trailer on the jack you have basically 50% of the trailer weight on it and the rest on the other pair of tires. Even using the Trailer-Aid you're not going to hurt the tire. Engineering safety factors are usually 50%, and if you upgrade tires all the better.
Da^^n it's good to see some common sense pop up occasionally. Thank you Kevcarr59

These people who are so concerned about axle overloading in a static situation ... I'd love to know where they sleep.

When tow a trailer, I'm right at or near my GVWR. Then, when I get there, I transfer my 600-800 lbs of human beings from my truck to the trailer ... you know, to sleep.
