Take a deep breath before looking
Look closely at the missing wheels. Both sides! Anyone but me think this is a bad idea?

Holy frame flex Batman!
The real question is whether the owner did it on purpose for some reason, or a thief did it.

I may know that girl.
We were in the bar after playing golf at Tunica National in Tunica MS and a half drunk friend of mine told the bartender gal "You're so cute I'm just gonna hook my truck up to your trailer home and take it and you home with me"
She said "my step daddy done took the wheels off'n my trailer house"

Especially if that's at a rest stop or Walmart.

This is in the storage lot and that was my first though too but I don't think a theft happened here. There's brand new Leggos under the stab jacks. Current guess is we're buying some new 'Splode-all' tires. It's prob the way it was jacked but it has a bit of lean going on too.

It's kinda hard to see what is supporting it from the darkness. Maybe he is trying to keep someone from stealing it or the tires.

Yeah, the pic is dark underneath but it's sitting on its 4 scissor stabs and the tongue jack. That's all, hubs dangling in the air. Don't think it's been that way more than a few days since I was at the lot several days last week and didn't notice it. We are leaving for Tucson on Mon so I'll be there several more times from now till then. I expect to see new tires or the TT rolled on its side. Will report either.

New Rubber
They are getting ready for a trip and ran to the store with the wheels for new rubber.

Likely will damage something. Either stabilizers or frame.

Well, if you're following, it's got new tires and is sitting on the ground again.

It's good to know the jacks are that capable. I wouldn't have trusted them. When I got new tires I did one side at a time and used jack stands right at the springs.

So, here's another consideration: Are they OEM jacks?
I have electric jacks on mine, and if they ever puke, I'll put manual scissor jacks on (electric stab jacks are stupid expensive). Each one will be rated 5,000 lbs for a total capacity of 20K lbs. My trailer's GVWR is 9250, so in my case, I wouldn't necessarily be worried about the jacks failing so much as I would be worried about the frame sitting there suspended and/or twisted for a few days.
