Changing a flat tire on a Chaser

[BLU60]

Good day all:

I recently took possession of a new Chaser from Adventure Trailers, and I'm putting together the tool kit. My attention is going to changing a flat tire and the associated tools needed. Here's a few ideas and I'm looking for input here. Chaser has 5 spoke Toyota wheels (similar to a 2007 Land Cruiser)

Lug whench - simple enough just get the right size
Jack - not so simple
Do I use a high lift with a jack off http://www.sleeoffroad.com/products/products_jackof_detail.htm
and a jack stand

or

one of these http://gotrailerpal.com/index.html

or

a bottle jack with a good cradle and base

I appreciate any thoughts on this and any other tools that you folks might recommend.

I carry the Bogert Safe Jack bottle jack stuff for my rig. Would work great for a trailer as well

A trailer jack that has the mounting collars would be good to have. Weld one collar at each corner then the jack (or a pair) could be used to lift the trailer and also used as a stabilizer when in camp. Something like this from etrailers. http://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Jack/Pro-Series/PS1401440303.html

thank you, now that is exactly what I'm looking for

I appreciate the link, any other thoughts out there?

I have their axe multi tool, but this lug wrench looks great http://forresttoolco.com/safety_impact_wrench.html

Go to the local walmart pick up a nice over rated bottle jack and a Gorilla wrench.
Been useing this combo for 12 years and has worked well. you can also hit up the local salvage yards for cheap vehicle jacks too.
