Four Wheels Up

Can anyone direct me to a video that shows how to lift all four wheels of a travel trailer (24mbh) off the ground safely? I've searched YouTube for an hour but no joy. Thank you.

Jeff

I have seen these in use called Trailer Legs. You place them against the axles and the move the trailer slowly up onto them

This was my solution. We have a 5th so the front is supported by the landing gear. Behind the axles I built a “tower” with 2x4’s on each side for my HD jackstands. Another tower just behind each of the jackstand towers for a jack. I used a 20T bottle jack. I lifted each side in small increments with the jack and raising the jackstand as I went. I would also add 2x4 towers as needed.

I support mine from the axel frame member and my tire pressure is at 50 psi. Every week I walk by it and spin the tires so it knows I still love her.

I support my travel trailer just behind the axles on axle stands. The from is supported by the tongue jack.

I air my tires down to 30psi over the winter.

Not sure what I did wrong with the pic.
My last line should read something like: if you are working on breaks, bearings or suspension you may only need to raise the trailer 4-6 inches leaving the tires in contact with the ground. Lift the axle and remove the tire and let the axle hang from the springs. I’ve done all of the work I’ve listed above using this method.
For a bumper tow raise the tongue using the tongue jack, build two towers at the front corners then lower the tongue until the front is supported y the towers then build towers behind the axles as I did.
