Question:
Just curious if the Anderson Leverlers with work on Independent axles on tandom 5th rv. Also will the Anderson rapid jack work for changing a flat tire. Or when pulling up on the rapid jack will the other independent axle fall to the ground and still have to be jacked up to change flat. Looking for sensible way to change a flat. Thanks for your input.

When it comes to the Andersen Camper Leveler, # AM3604, this was designed for use with single axle trailers. A tandem axle trailer would require that you use a leveler on the front and rear axle to properly level the trailer. Due to the leveler being 15 inches in length, a tandem axle trailer typically doesn't provide enough room between the two tires in order to use the leveler on the rear axle.
As for the Rapid Jack, # AM3620, I spoke with my contact at Anderson and he estimates that it will work for about 98 percent of the trailers out there today to raise the tire enough to change a flat on a tandem axle trailer. The remaining 2 percent of trailers have an independent suspension so raising one tire will not raise the other. You can easily test this by pulling up on a large/thick board.
Take a look at the video that I have attached.
