Default Vista Cruiser 19BFD

We bought a Powerbuilt Unijack 4,000lb and it will not fit under the axle of our Vista Cruiser 19BFD. Where would be another safe location to place a jack to change the tire besides under the axle? Is it safe to lift by the frame behind the axle? I need a location a little higher from the ground than the height of the axle. Thank you for your help.

Flower,
You can jack up the camper by the frame. On ones with torsion axles do not recommend using the axle tube as a jacking point. Id replace the cupped top on the jack with something flat. A piece of 2x6 would work fine. Always place the jack behind the axle. If you place it in front you run the risk of the camper "popping a wheelie". Ask me how I know.

ANOTHER OPTION for tandem axle is the TRAILER-AID speed ramps, much faster/ easier/ safer than jacking roadside; Check Youtube and Amazon?
