I have a Spree Escape 18RB which is a single axle trailer. I've never had to change a tire but would like to know how to safely jack the trailer. Any suggestions, or leads of where to look?
Thank you.

I use a small 1-1/2 ton scissors jack and place it under the spring mount. If your axle is below the spring, make up a block so that the u-bolts and axle tube will all be contacted. You can indent the axle tube if you have a single point of contact lifting the trailer. I use a scissors jack, rather than a bottle jack, because it will go down lower for a flat tire, and it is not a tippy. I am assuming that you have leaf springs, if you have torsion axles, report back.

Per the axle manufacturers...always jack under the frame NOT the axle or its components
