Even though our rig has 6 point Lippert hydraulic leveling, which will lift your tires clear of the ground. (Using jack stands, We've actually had all four off of the ground, at the same time for maintenance.) We also carry a 4 ton bottle jack, just in case.... As already stated, keep it stored upright, and it wouldn't hurt to bring some extra jack fluid. Keep it all in a LARGE zip-lock bag. (Trust me!)
If you do decide to use a bottle jack, bring an extra 2' length of "pipe" that fits over your existing jack handle. It makes the lift so much easier!
In any case, just a reminder, regardless of how you change a tire, check your spare's tire pressure! PLEASE... check your lug nuts, at your next stop, and again at 500 miles.
Good Luck,
