I have a 1990 Hitop Westfalia and I was wondering if a standard wheel jack was up to the job, taking into consideration of the extra weight with water, gas, beer, logs, etc. Does anyone know what they had originally. I am carrying around a 2 tonne trolley jack. It this over the top, should I get a s...
