How to jack up

[frcamp]

I have a Surveyor Sport 240 BR and have a question about jacking up the trailer. My camper has gas lines, wiring and a plastic strip running along the bottom of the frame which is in the way of placing a jack or jack stands on it.

Any suggestions for how to jack it up without using the drive on block easy lift or jacking on the axle ?

Thanks

Why not use the spring U bolt, Use a small piece of wood between the bolt and jack.

It's not like it will be on the jack for hours on end.

What is the reason for wanting to jack up the trailer? Still best bet to do so is use a floor jack under the axle. Later RJD

Unless it is a torsion axle and YOU CANNOT JACK ON A TORSION AXLE!

Just suppose I am at the campsite and I want to level it up a little better and I am disconnected from the truck.

Put the correct height of blocks under the tires.

I once parked to close to a power pedestal for the slide to go out all the way.

Tight site required me to make all water and power connections with the slide in.

I just unhooked everything after putting the slide back in, hooked the lite up and moved over, yes it was a pain but I will not make the same mistake again.

Mine has torsion axles. I use a piece of 2X4 and floor jack at the point where the suspension and frame are connected. I use 2 1.5 ton aluminum, racing floor jacks and jack both axle attach points. Takes a bit of effort, but works great.
