[LeftOverParts]

Hello All. Fairly new to the site and owning a Monti so came across this thread and related ones while searching for how-to jack up the trailer - to perform a bearing grease repack and in case we encounter a flat. Thanks for all the insight and being a tinkerer, great to see home-made tools.

On a former trailer, we have used the frame or a ramp to hang one wheel. When replacing tires, on that former trailer, the techs at American Tire used a jack under the axle u-bolts. When leveling the Monti in campgrounds with uneven sites, the auto leveling system has raised at least one wheel on one side of the camper enough (about 1 inch) so the wheel could be hand-turned so can confirm that could work.

FWIW, came across this manual from Lippert on their recommendations for jacking up the trailer to change a tire. See page 23. In general (paraphrasing) it says to use the main I beam; block the jack; chock the opposite wheels; and if connected to the truck, leave it connected and set the parking brake. (Best to read the whole paragraph and warnings.)

Will post after the grease repack on method used. Connecting the truck and using jack stands for extra support sounds like the safest thing to do.

Thanks again for all the insight!
