Correct, just throwing the comment re Scamps bumper stabilizers out there as we have a few folks here new to Scamps who may not be aware they are not to be used for jacking up the trailer in case they thought it could be done after having seen yours and Floyd's set up.

This brings back the question of is it a good idea to jack up a trailer when it is supported at the extreme ends, tongue jack and rear jack/stabilizer. Makes no difference to me what others do but it's not the way I would jack up my trailer to change a tire.

Mine neither. In my time here there have been reports of twisted/bent frames due to the trailer having been jacked up that way.

Jack
I use an aluminum floor jack.
I don't do it for changing the tire, but mine has sat for months supported on the ends, with no trouble.
I also jack it up by the axle, I'm a rebel.

JD neat for me too. Nothing shall taint that sweet nectar near my lips.
I have lots of different jacks, but the tow's scissor jack is the one I usually go to. They are light adequately do the job, and are easy to use.

Yeah, but after I started reading this thread, the oft used phrase"Who knows Jack ..." came to mind.

The Bal stabilizers on my Scamp13 are WAY overkill, I use them to service the trailer brakes and to change the tires.
Check your TV jack though, if it will fit under the frame, it should work great!.
