According my manual - Note it says jack stands not leveling jacks.
"Block up motorhome with wooden blocks or manufactured jackstands
on a hard level surface to relieve the constant pressure on
one area of the tires. Partially deflate the tires. Cover to protect
against sunlight with burlap, plywood or specially designed tire
covers which are available at RV dealerships."
But what has me scraching myhead is why? Again the flat spots? ANd I was always told wood is bad to rest tires on becuase it draws moisture. And why partially deflate the tires? Does anyone do this? None of this makes good sense to me.
