Jack Recommendation for Trailer with Wide Axle Spacing for Changing Spare

Updated 08/14/2017 | Published 08/12/2017

Question:

I just bought a newer travel trailer 2018 forest river vibe 308BHS. The axels are further apart than on my 2005 Keystone Sprinter 308BH. I tried to use the yellow ramp block trailer-aid to lift the other tire off the ground as I did on my old trailer and it appears to not work on the axels that are further apart. Is there any new or updated version of the yellow ramp that will work on the newer axels?

Your axles are so far apart that you would need to go with a bottle jack like the part # ALL620471 to get the axle off the ground high enough to change the spare. I wish there was a ramp style jack that would work but like you figured out the axle spacing screws that up.
