Question:
I have a 2018 Coachman Apex Nano 193BHS, where the frame is about 22inch off the ground. I understand that a scissor jack is not recommended to life the camper to change a tire. While this bottle jack would be able to handle the weight, I am concerned about its lift piston length. I am concerned about having to place this on several wood blocks to raise the bottle jack. Also, I know there are bottle jacks with a jack stand built in, but I am concerned about weight. What is the tool/process you recommend?

I have a solution for you, but I don't believe the Powerbuilt # ALL640405 is going to provide the needed length of piston to lift a trailer that's already 22" from the ground; this unit is only capable of lifting up 12" and you won't want to stack up multiple boards under and on the bottle it to make it work.
The best available solution would be the Powerbuilt Unijack Bottle Jack with Built-In Jack Stand - 21" Lift - 6,000 lbs # ALL620471, which can extend to 21" tall and has a 6000-lbs capacity, which should be sufficient for your Apex Nano 193 BHS. You would still need a block to lift the trailer up to change a tire, but it would be the tallest available bottle jack solution.
