That is interesting. I wonder why you should not use the levelers to change a tire. Never having had levelers on any of my three RVs, I know nothing about them. But I agree with the Fleetwood docs. RVs are too big, too heavy and too top heavy for an individual to risk changing a tire. If the jack slips, it could easily kill you, never mind damaging a very expensive toy. I taught my daughter to change a tire so that she could if she was someplace where her life depended on it. But I paid for AAA and told her never to do it. I feel the same way about me and my RV.
