Question 1

I have a 22 ft boat tandom axle trailer  is tireaide ( 4.5) ) suffecient or tireaid Plus(5.5)a better option

Accepted Answer

I have the 4.5 for a travel trailer.  It does not get the tire to be repaired totally off the ground due to the suspension.  I have to use a small hydraulic jack.  The 4.5 helps take off the trailer weight.  I would go with the 5.5 if I had to do it again.  Biggr is always better.  I had a 23 foot deck boat on a galvanized trailer and believe it weighed more than the travel trailer..... Hope this helps

Question 2

Any concern with the trailer tipping over when changing a tire on the side of the road? That would be my concern with a full load...

Accepted Answer

No concerns about the possibility of the trailer tipping as long as you're on a somewhat level surface.  HOWEVER--YOU should pull your trailer onto the Trailer Aid BEFORE you actually have to use it in an emergency.  Tandem axles are not the same for each trailer and may have different suspension componenets.  I actually use a 2 x 10 under my Trailer Aid to give me the correct clearance needed to get an inflated tire off the ground !!  Notice that I said INFLATED tire.....if I were to use the Trailer Aid WITHOUT a 2 x 10 under it, I would then NOT have the clearance for an inflated tire !!  These are also the best for doing brake and bearing maintenance.  Good Luck

Question 3

I have a sprinter  302rls travel trailer, will this work?

Accepted Answer

All I know is that it doesn't work with my 27 foot Forest River Salem. I bought the PLUS size and the wheel not on the ramp still touches the ground. From further research, this is a common problem. What I have been told is; get a 2x6 and cut it down to the ramp size and cut the same ramp angle on one  end. This will give you another 11/2 inches and it should work. I haven't done that yet, I went and bought a 20 ton air over hydraulic bottle jack and 2 6 ton jack stands. So in conclusion, it didn't work for me, it may not work for you, The best way to tell, build a 5 inch high ramp using 2x6's and see if 51/2 inches tall is enough, THEN buy this because it is easier and lighter to carry around. Check back later and I'll test the theory of adding a board underneath.

Question 4

i own a starcraft travel trailer hybrid tbs229 2015 i wondering if this will work on mine the only #s i could fine r EQ 310 & 20-11-12-6

Accepted Answer

the ramp is made for trailers with fixed axles like a utility trailer. I have a travel trailer they did not work for me I send them back. it would lift a tire up but the tire beside it was still on the ground because of the springs on the axle. it sounds like a good idea but it doesn't work
