I use USAA's roadside service... I tell them it's a 15,000 lb. fifth wheel and they send a heavy-duty service unit. It's only happened to us once in 2016 when we took a piece of rebar through a tire on an interstate in Georgia.

I have the Powerbuilt, a 20-ton hydraulic jack with an axle saddle, and various blocks that I also use for leveling and stabilizing when parked. There is also the Trailer Aid Plus, which is much easier than jacking, but may not work on some rigs due to the spacing between the axles.

TrailerAid ramp + a piece of 2x8 if needed for extra height. Worked on the Imagine, but we'll see in 2 weeks how it does when we get the new 303.

OK, I'll be the one to say it.

I use "LevelUp". It's built into my trailer, 6 jacks, and it can easily lift the entire RV off the ground (or a single side). No, you're not supposed to do it. Yes, I trust it a LOT more than I trust a standard manual jack.
