Stress on the chassis? I haven't heard of a single case ever where the chassis was damaged by the jacks. And if there were, there are other factors in play.

I have leveled mine with wheels off the ground several times and never experienced any of the doom and gloom that is supposed to happen. I am careful not to let the rear wheels off as on a gasser that's what keeps it from rolling. Although I am not sure how it could roll, the contact patch of a jack foot is about the same as a tire so I really don't see it skiing down a hill. The only thing I can see happening would be to the jack leg itself if it was to bend under lateral stress. But I really don't think getting a front wheel off the ground an inch is going to destroy your MH.

Ive had my fronts off the ground a few times, although I try not to. But the best source of how it should be done in your coach is your coach's manual. There are differences. For example in my Monaco, you deploy the slides before leveling. Other motorhomes call for the reverse.
