I discovered a flat on my travel trailer that is parked in a permanent location. I have added additional blocks on each side of the axels for stability. Is there a way to safely change the flat without unblocking the trailer? My trailer is a 32' travel trailer. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

If it's in a permanent location, why are you worried about a flat?

If you REALLY need to change/repair the tire I suggest you loosen the lug nuts, then jack up the axle under the spring plate close behind the tire. You should be able to get the wheel on and off without raising the trailer, especially if you have stabilizer blocks under it.
But, like the others, I'm curious - why bother, unless you are planning on moving the trailer at some point?
I had a Prowler permanently parked on blocks for 16 years and really didn't care WHAT the tires were like. I sold it in place so it was never a problem.

Thanks for providing an answer and not a question,kaydeejay! I'm not certain I will need to replace the tire in the next few months. However, I wanted to determine how to go about it if I should decide to change it. I had assumed I could do what you suggested but wanted another opinion. Thanks again!!
