What is your equipment (bottle jack or else) ? Change Tire while triple axles
I am new to triple axles and looking to buy the equipment for lifting tire up. I want to see the simple and saving time for changing the tire.
I have the jack bottle and Andersen camper leveler but I heard that leveler would not work for triple axles.

I know what you meant. I keep it with me for the purpose of a flat tire. You can also use the hydrualic leveling system in conjunction with it if you need a little extra room. I only mentioned the bearings since it does a good job lifting the wheel and I havent had a flat on this camper (knock on wood).

I know I am in the minority on this, but I use the leveling system to raise the RV. I know it is not recommended by GD but it works well. I expect their lack of a recommendation is for liability issues, not technical issues. When I had it off the axles for several days I did use jack stands just as a precaution but never really needed them.

I agree with the above. While not recommended, when one of my Westlakes blew, I was able to get to a nice large fairly level parking lot and used the 4 rear levelers to lift the rig. Lifted with no problem and in less than 10 minutes was back on the road. I also puchased a DeWalt 1/2 Lithium Impact and Snap On torque stick for just this situation. Made life very easy.

If you have the Ford F-350 dually, it come with a hydraulic jack behind the back seat. It will lift one axle to change the tire.

x4 for using leveling system, I add 4x4 block under each pad to get it completely off the ground. Works really good when on level and flat pad, but if the RV is on any kind of slope it would scare me.
But the original poster (op) specified emergency roadside, so to answer that half of the question I keep 2 bottle jacks in the box and a number of wood 4"x4"x12" blocks. Since I have a generator I also carry an electric impact wrench.
A ground sheet is a must in fire ant country... small shovel has come in handy also.Dallas
