Jon & Rita,

I carry a small hand crank scissors jack in the TV. I bought it to stabilize my '97 2720 under the entrance door. The frame on the '97 did not seem to be as strong and resistant to twisting as the newer TM's with the installed scissors lifts. A scissors jack will fit under the frame even with a flat tire and will lift the tire off the ground for changing. I don't have to worry about hydraulic fluid with this type of jack and it is very compact and light weight to carry. You can also find a scissors jack that has a hydraulic cylinder to raise the jack. You get the height range of a scissors jack with the pump action of a bottle jack. Of course it is heavier, bulkier and costs more than the simple hand crank scissors jack.
