You need to supervise anyone jacking your trailer. Jack the axle wrong and it may bend. Do not assume that the tire shop will do it right.

I think all the warnings not to use jacks at the axles are to prevent the uninitiated from placing a jack too far to the center of an axle, which can bend one. Think about it, the weight of the RV is centered over each spring perch. So, using a bottle jack directly under a spring perch is certainly okay. Most tire shops will use a rolling jack and put its pad directly under the spring perch. If I were taking off two wheels, I'd use two bottle jacks and two jackstands under the frame (as insurance) while the tires are being mounted.
