Fifth wheel jack points
My Mobile Suites owners manual sez to jack the trailer up at the frame. Why the frame? Why not at the axle spring shackle?

The axles are a rather thin wall tube, and a single point stress like the narrow top of a bottle jack could put a crimped spot on the axle, ruining it.
ALWAYS jack on the frame with the stress distributed with a stiff chunk of wood if possible.
