KEYSTONE recommends a hydraulic jack be used when changing a tire.
OWNERS MANUAL: TIRE CHANGING BASICS-
2 | Block the wheels on the opposite side from the tire you wish to change to prevent accidental movement.
3 | Position a hydraulic jack on the frame close to the spring hanger. (Never attempt to use a stabilizer jack to lift the RV.)
4 | Raise the RV until the tire clears the ground.
5 | Set a jack stand under the frame just to the rear of the tire being changed.
ALSO they recommend a 3 stage retorquing of lug nuts (I got to remember this WHEN I have to change my 1st flat on my trailer. No Flats----yet.)
