A vehicle trailer is provided having an adapter apparatus for providing a temporary spare tire. Typically, the trailer will be equipped with removable brackets by which the adapter apparatus can be connected to the trailer frame. If a spare tire is needed, the adapter apparatus is positioned at a bracket adjacent the failed wheel. The adapter apparatus itself includes a rotatable wheel mounted at the distal end of an elongate jack. Actuation of the jack causes the failed wheel to be lifted from the ground. The operator can then proceed to the desired destination on the wheel of the adapter apparatus without requiring the failed wheel to be removed. In exemplary embodiments, the adapter apparatus can be used as a tongue lift when a spare tire is not required.
