I have a collection of jacks.. Most will not work with the Motor home but the one that does is a 12 ton air/hydraulic bottle jack from harbor freight.. I also carry a lot of lumber. and some jack stands
Jack it up and put lumber under it
reposition the jack and put more lumber or extend jack stands
Reposition and do it again and again and again.
True story.
Tire store using my jack. DID NOT put a load spreadew (Plank) under the jack so it punched through the parking lot (Asphault) and dropped the rear axle onto the ground. Thankfully it did NOT damage the rotor.
Spent 2 hours with that jack and lumber getting it back in the air so they could put the new tires on.
Other side I positioned the jack.. On top of step 2 of my stair steps
(3 2x8's one 3' one 2' one 1' it was on the middle step) no problem
There is a reason the jack sits atop a plank in my storage bin,.
