There are 100 curved camper leveling jacks

I have a steel Jiffy Jack and at the risk of sounding immodest, I was able to change a blown tire on the ole Trav-A-Long on the side of I-20 just outside of Birmingham, in about 8 minutes solo without disturbing the ponies (except for the brief wobble as the tire separated). Lucky for me the boys from Talladega didn't see me and try to recruit me to work in the pits! 

Using what you have is great too!

Also don't let anyone here give you grief, I had an idea awhile back of a fabric that would stick together and you could pull it back apart, then stick it together again. A very unique design that involved loops and hooks made of plastic fabric...... Apparently I told too many people about it.

Not for leveling but to change all the flats without crawling on the ground.

The curved levelers will lift to change a tire also.

We use these at work, they're great. Add a battery powered impact and you'll think you're a Nascar pit crewman.

Just remember to break the lugs loose before the tire gets off the ground.

I also have used three pieces of 2x6's staggered as a ramp.

Impact has been covered.

Yep, I've changed too many tires. I was throwing a 3 ton floor jack in the back of the truck before. I'll stick with this method.

I'll bet I could even teach an old dog like you a new trick.😊

Nahhh

Been using those tire widgets at least 20 years, bro.

Next you're gonna discover those little black metal shelf like things under the trailer door make great steps when folded down?
