Quote "I'll let the people who know how to do it and have the right tools do it." My gosh ... in today's world of "world class laymen" there sure are a few trusting owners out there! What can some do other than roll the dice. Granted you have to have the mental reasoning not to place a jack under the middle of your axle, but ... I jack right under the springs with no issue. You'll put more strain on your fiver trying to hoist the entire side of the camper up to get a wheel off the ground, but to each his own. You're only jacking up approx #3000 at the end of any axle. Should your tire be totally flat causing your bottle jack to be too tall ... your truck scissor jack will easily work in a pinch.
