Jacking up class C motorhome
I had gathered from my ford e450 chassis manual that jacking points are located on axles, slightly beyond suspension and steering hardware.
Can you help clarifying how to jack to to change a tire or to shove boards under the wheel when stuck
The manual only mentions using a "provided jack" and just using that one jack throughout but its generic e450 manual not specific to motorhomes (RV manual just sneakily tells to call "roadside assistance" good luck with that where I camp), no jack was included.
I got 12 ton bottle jack and axle cradle adapter for it. My understanding if I use it I must then use jack stand(s) to support the weight right after I lifted it. Motorhome is about 13000 lbs GCWR.
To hold just one tire up for a short time - can I use just one 6 ton jack stand placed under the axle right next to bottle jack? Or, can I get away with two 3 ton jack stands instead? If I use two, do I just place them right next to each other under the end of the axle? My rear tires are duallies, basically I would have to climb under to place a jack. Wonder whats better. Then, shouldn't there be a way to find alternative frame jack points on the side, to lift without crawling under, at least for rear duallies?
