Looking at old posts and ran across this one. JRTJH could not have put it better. Doing a DRY RUN will save you a bunch. Don't just see if your jack works, go ahead and see if you can loosen a lug nut too.
We blew out a tire on Jelico Mtn. (I-75) heading south at 2am with a 24' TT. Luckily, close to the rest area because (1) no level place to pull over. (2) No good place to change a tire at 2am since all the spots were full of semi's. Pulled along the curb, pulled out the jack and (3) found out it wouldn't fit under the axle with the trailer loaded! Thank goodness for a helping hand. Semi driver came over. Compressor in his truck, airbag lift and 1/2" air wrench. He even changed the tire for me. Wouldn't take a dime.
