If I were having a tire dealer do it, I'd stay with the trailer and supervise the jacking up of the trailer and the torquing of the wheel nuts. Technically the Airstream dealer is going to take the wheels off the trailer and most likely run them over to the local Goodyear outlet.
The other thought is to do it yourself and use the ramp method to raise two wheels, remove them yourself and take them to a local Goodyear outlet. That way you remount the wheels on the trailer and can do the torque yourself and won't damage the trailer by raising it incorrectly.
