  • Drive On Ramp

    We have a MORryde CRE 3000 suspension. The trailer is a Reflection 303RLS. Is it possible to use one of those drive on ramps to change a tire?

    Welcome to the forum, jkeag. Check out the new members welcome letter when you get a chance: https://gdrvowners.com/forum/main-fo...to-new-members

    I literally just got done swapping a tire on my 315RLTS as I have a broken TPMS sensor. I used a Trailer Aid to swap the tire with a spare. The trailer aid doesn't quite get the tire up in the air enough, so I have to add a piece of wood underneath.

      jkeag --- reinstalled my Sailun today. Took a few more pics so you can see what the Trailer Aid looks like in actual use.

        Thanks for posting the pictures Howard. Do you know if the Trailer Aid Plus would give more height in order to lift the bad tire on a 337RLS? Using one of these looks a lot easier than lugging around my bottle jack and accessories.

          Unfortunately that is a "Plus" I'm using. I have no idea why they didn't make it just a wee bit taller so a 16" tire will clear. Without that extra piece of wood that tire is not coming off. (I've tried.)

            Got it. Looks like another small project on my winter list. Also, glad I was able to give you the heads up on the TPMS frequencies.

              With three axels I'm not able to use the pre-fabricated drive-on lifts, not enough space between the middle tires and the others. I use the big Lego type jack pads to stair step two tires up until the third is off the ground. It's not fast but it is relatively easy process (Place one pad ahead of the tires and pull onto it, place two pads ahead of the tires and pull onto them, continue to stack and pull until third tire is off the ground. Reverse the process to lower the tires). Plus I can use the pads for other things, like under the jacks or leveling the trailer side to side when I'm not getting a tire off the ground.
