How do you jack up a 22MLE if a flat occurs?
The frame is 24 inches above the pavement and my small floor jack won't work and I don't want to carry my garage jack but that's long stretch for any jack.
I know they have drive on type systems but what do all of you carry for emergencies?

I carry a small floor jack to use in case of a flat. You can jack up the trailer by putting the jack under the spring saddle on the axle. As long as your on the spring saddle (a block of wood helps) you're okay. Just don't jack on the axle tube itself.

I use my truck’s jack with a block of wood and jack it like @LV Naturist suggests. I also carry a Trailer-Aid Plus from my previous TT. I haven’t tried it yet on the new one to see if it lifts the tire enough.

After working out the details to change a tire in the driveway, I feel prepared in case I ever need to do it while traveling -

I keep a Power Built jack/stand in the camper, also have a bottle jack with safe jack extensions. The safe jack can reach the frame rails or the Power Built jack works great under the u bolts of the axle. For those with a 6 point leveling system, you could use the hydrualic jacks on the camper to raise the side of the trailer enough for a flat.
I had the Trailer Aid Plus on my last TT and tried to change a flat with it. Due to the equalizer between the wheels, the flat just stayed on the ground. For those that have it, I suggest you try it out and dont assume it will work if you're on the road and have a flat.
I also keep impact sockets, an 18V Milwaukee impact wrench and a torque wrench in the truck while I'm on the road.
