To me, it warns against using the leveling jacks to lift the entire RV ("the coach") off the ground such that NONE of the tires ("the wheels") are in contact with the ground - note the specific use of the word "completely". That certainly could create an unstable condition as only the jacks are restraining side-to-side and front-to-rear movement. Such is NOT the case if the wheels on only one side are lifted off the ground - the chocked high-side wheels serve to restrain such movement.
