Jacking up a caravan

To be honest I travel thousands of miles a year working and now a caravanner.  Last thing I would want is to be lying on a lay by somewhere trying to change a car tyre let alone a caravan.  Nuts are always tight given that we torque them regularly, the wheel is a nightmare to release especially when the van had dropped six inches on the flat side which also makes getting a jack into position difficult, Maybe 40mph wind or driving rain.  

Best thing I have ever done was get a national breakdown membership, had one now for around 20yrs and boy have they got us out of a few scrapes.  Vehicles transported to destination, back home or garage of choice no questions asked.  Oh, and the caravan  is free, no extra !!

I purchased a trolley jack when I got the caravan for the same reason then I woke up thinking why am I contemplating that ?? silly boy!  Tyres, let them be flat, one phone call then put the kettle on simples

I've got two pairs of them, but can still get a trolley jack in under the caravan to jack it.

I can have a tyre changed & be on my way rather than wait for someone else to do it for me ...... and I do have recovery.

When a trailer tyre is flat, get out the ramps/blocks and tow the wheel on that side up onto something. This will reduce the amount of lift required from the jack. Also, before going up with the jack is the safest time to remove the spare if stowed underneath as trailer is on blocks.

If one has a twin axle, even better. Stagger the blocks and go higher and one does not need a jack at all. Just remember to loosen the wheel nuts before the wheel departs the ground.

And as for checking the torque on wheel nuts on a regular basis - how many people are doing this without first releasing the nut/stud? Repeated torquing will overtighten.
