Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
After waiting for 3 hours for a tech who could change a flat tire on our Fifth Wheel we have decided to purchase a Rapid Jack. It cost us $60 and looks pretty amazing. Lee feels this would allow him to safely change a trailer tire if this ever happens again. Plus it works on our dually's and does about 5 other things which is cool. Anyways thought I would share the video.

Wanted to resurrect this because we got a flat tire and the Rapid JAck did not work for us. We were pulled off a standard two lane highway and it sunk really deep into the gravel. Even when we placed it on a rubber mat it still did not lift the vehicle enough to replace the tire although you could get the busted one off. We are going to be investing in a standard large jack
The rapid jack is actually a nice product. Drive on and then place a chock under it so you do not rely on your brakes. I also have their leveling products and it makes quick easy work of leveling and takes up little room. The only issue is a soft surface but even then, a regular jack has issues. Hopefully I will not get a flat on sand. LOL

Be careful with their levelers, I have seen pics of them broken.
I don't believe the "jack"will work with many RVs that have the suspension where each wheel moves independent like MorRyde. You can not get the tire with the flat off the ground high enough to change it. Perhaps if you have shocks then it might be possible.

MorRyde IS has shocks. Never tried the TrailerAid with the IS since I now have 6 point leveling. But the CenterPoint system that was on my last MS shown in pic above had a lot of travel that is why you will see a 2X under the TrailerAid in pic above.
