Please forgive me and my newby question.

I have a new Eriba Troll Ocean Drive and about to head out on 21st July for the first time. If i get a flat tyre on the Troll is there a Jack for the wheel? I can't find one enywere? Or do I simply use the caravan corner stability stays and jack them up to the max?

Thanks in advance,

Craig

I would only carry out a tyre change as a last resort, caravans can be inherently unbalanced when changing a wheel. My first resort would be a breakdown service which incorporates your caravan. I use Green flag Mayday as they cover the van without the car been attached. In an emergency I carry a small bottle jack, and it is placed under the axle as close as the wheel you can get it, leaving the van attached to the car. The Eriba has used various T chassis over the years the most common is probably the AL-KO which has a tubular axle, the Land Rover type bottle jack with the cradle is best suited. The BPW chassis has a square axle and the standard bottle jack can be used. My 2015 Familia has a BPW chassis with a square axle.

I carry a trolley jack in the boot of the car. Can be purchased very cheaply E-bay, Aldi, Lidl, etc. Does the job well and more stable than a bottle jack.

I hitch the car on to hold the van steady, then use the supplied car jack, but I only have the 750Kg Familia.

Just done it in order to remove the "winter wheels" and fit the road wheels as we are off to Banchory.

PS Car jacks are usually very low to get under a jacking point when you have a flat tyre

This little fellow fits under the axle, only use this one if you have a BPW axle with a flat surface. As Sportique says if you have one with your car that will probably be ok..
