Spare jack
Does anyone here know if Jayco TT's (2013 and up) come with a spare tire jack? I have the tire underneath but can't find a jack. TIA!

No jack. I personally use a "traileraid". See it here - http://www.amazon.com/Trailer-Aid-Pl...rds=traileraid

I have never had a jack or lug wrench come with any of my units. I used my pickup jack and set up a ratchet extension and socket for the lug nuts.

The jacks on you!! I use my TV jack but also carry a universal car hack from an old truck I owned. It fits to an axle and is compact and easy to stow in my truck box. Use it because it such a pain to remove the regular jack in my 2500 silverado. To be correct, it's not hard to get the jack out, but near impossible to get it restowed under / behind the seat. Have only had the privledge to have to change a tire while on the road, one time in decades of trailer towing. Have limped the final miles to a destination on 3 good tires a couple times just so I wouldn't have to "do the deed" on the side of the road.
Kind of like bringing an umbrella, bring it and it won't rain.

You may want to consider a good heavy duty floor jack. I carry a 3 ton floor jack with me in the back of my truck. I used to not do this, but decided to leave it in there after hunting season and pulling a utility trailer. I'm glad I left it in my truck. Just got back from a trip where I had 2 blowouts on my rig. The big jack sure came in handy. Now, off to get new tires.

For a double axle trailer, I have never used a jack to change a tire. I put leveling blocks under the good tire (high enough to lift the other tire and provide clearance to put the spare on), and either back onto them or pull onto them. Then I change the spare, pull off the blocks and head on my way.
Even with a loaded trailer, the additional weight on the one axle for the short duration of time it will take to change the spare will not be an issue.
Finally, I keep a Cross style lug wrench in the front storage of the trailer.

I carry a 4-Ton bottle jack in the back of the truck and have plenty of 2X6 and 2X8 blocks in a milk crate I normally use for under the stabilizers when I have an unlevel campsite. I used it once to change a tire and it worked just fine. Got mine at Harbor Freight.
