Jacking up a camper
00:00 Intro
01:52 Bottle Jack Buddy
03:25 Steve Shelburne's Opinion

This is a follow-up to our previous video of How to Jack Up a Camper / RV. We talk more in this video about the benefits of using an axle adapter and a bottle jack and why we both really like the Bottle Jack Buddy. It has good thick-walled steel construction and will be ready and waiting when you have an RV problem of your own.

In this video, we were at Shelburne RV in Cleveland, TN and I just thought I'd have Steve tell us how he recommends jacking a camper to change a tire. He recommends using a floor jack and to make the jack contact the axles just inside the u-bolts. He states that this is where all the camper's weight is on the trailer and it makes sense that this would be where you would want to place the jack. I personally use a bottle jack and an axle adapter. You have to be more careful with this though, as the bottle jack is easier to tip over sideways. The safest option is to use a ramp such as the Bunker Wall ramp or the Trailer aide, but the problem with these devices is that sometimes, depending on the way the tandem axles are set up, it won't actually lift one tire off the ground.
