Alter The Tires On Popup Trailers

Pop-up trailers are popular recreational vehicles, as they're like little mobile tents that can be moved wherever you like for camping in the woods or by the river. If you get a flat tire on your trailer, or need to change the tire for any other reason, then you need to take care of it, otherwise you may have a problem the next time you take it out camping. This is an easy process, and should be done within 30 minutes.


Instructions


1. Lift up the trailer using the jack and set both the axle and the frame of the pop-up trailer on the jack stands. Make sure the vehicle is secure before you work on it.


2. Remove the lug nuts on the wheel using the tire iron. Once they're all off, grip the tire by both sides and pull it off of the axle. Then place it to the side so it's out of the way.


3. Grab the replacement wheel and tire assembly with your arms and place it on the axle studs. Tighten the lug nuts down using the tire iron in a star pattern.


4. Lower the pop-up trailer off of the jack stands using the jack and place it on the ground. Then tighten the lug nuts on the wheel one more time, using the same star pattern as before.
