Help finding hydraulic jack...

My '99 Sunnybrook weighs in dry at 6000#. I want to buy a jack (and probably stands) that will safely lift it and one I can take with me (if that's possible) when I'm camping. I don't really care about price as much as the jack's ability to get the job done and be portable enough to take with.

Can you guys point at something you think will work?

Thanks.

If you are only looking at something to lift one side or one wheel to change a flat or whatever, I carry an cheap-o bottle jack and some chunks of 4x12 blocking...

I also have like a 3 ton floor jack, but I don't always carry it since it's bulky.

You can buy a 20-ton bottle jack for about $35. If you are looking to lift the whole trailer at once, it is a bigger challenge but lifting one side or one end, or one axle at a time is not going to be an issue. It will weigh about 25-30 lbs probably.
