Homemade Jack Stands

Hello All,

We bought a 2014 Southwind 32VS. I'd like to work with it in my driveway (our development doesn't allow us to use the street), and have determined I need to raise the front wheels 14 inches to get it level due to the slope of my driveway (it is a asphalt/macadam driveway).

Anyone have plans for homemade system to get the unit's front end to this height in a safe manner? I used 2x10's for my class C, but it didn't need near as much lift, and it scares me a little bit...

Thanks for any ideas, opinions on this matter.

Jim

  • How about the drive on ramps you get at an auto parts store. I don't think they are 14", but you could bolt them to some 2x12's to get it there.

    edit - I just went and measured mine. One set is 8 5/16" and the other set is almost 10".
