Default glider trailer Q

what kind of jack do you carry along for when you need to change a flat
tire? I have a good spare tire but no jack.


Your car jack may do just fine, but odds are that your lug wrench won't
fit. For a lug wrench, buy yourself a star wrench at any auto parts store and
mount it somewhere on the trailer out of the way. If your car jack (probably
scissors type) is not up to the job, hydraulic bottle jacks are amazingly cheap,
or visit any junkyard.
