jackstand backup placement on Bambi

OK, so I get a flat tire on my 2017 19' Bambi. I chock the wheels, loosen the lugs, and use a standard jack to lift the flat tire side, and locate the jack under the small square jacking plate. Question: Once its up, where do I place the safety jackstand support- so as not to puncture the belly? Please use the square plate as a reference in your answer - fore, aft, curbside, streetside? And how many inches?


Please no guesses or suppositions; I already have gotten too many of those...


Thanks in advance.

I typically jack from the axle support, not the axle itself but the support member that is welded to the frame. If you are jacking from the plate you could use the axle support as your back up or vice versa.

A safety jack stand isn't really needed for a temporary lift like a flat tire while towing. The TV will provide movement stability for the trailer while the trailer is being lifted.

And why guess, read the owners manual. Written by the company that made the trailer.
