Changing tire on new 2017 class c
I just purchased a new class C on Ford chassis. I'm taking it on a 6k mile trip and want to carry a jack and any tools needed to change tire. I for the life of me, can't find the right tool to remove ...

I already had a Dozen-Ton jack about like you linked. It's an old commercial one, Blackhawk brand. In case you were wondering, a Four Ton "Can" lift a rear corner of a Class C, but it'd take more push on the handle than we can produce on a reach. What I don't know about a single-piston 12-ton, is IF it goes "short" enough to get under the axle under flat-tire-side-of-the-road conditions.
I carry my own old 12T because I didn't know any better. If you're starting out new, and want what's sure to work, return the single piston and get a Two Stage. By the same logic, don't get a single piston "Shorty" that will fit under the axle with a flat, but might not lift high enough to install your spare.
Your simulator pix look like our Dicor sims. I say that because they don't have a separate center piece like the Pacific Dually sims in one of the links above, also because the pattern of the hole for the front valve looks like ours, and the starburst image in the center.
Look at your simulated Lug Nuts carefully. Of eight nuts with six wrench flats each, I think you'll find that two nuts have marks on two sides. If that's the case, remove one of those nuts (front is easier without socket and extension) and get a deep socket in that size. Again, I think 1-1/8".
