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...

I'm pretty sure when the manual is talking about jacking, they really mean to replace a tire.
The problem with jacking the frame (assuming you find a structurally sufficient point) is you might lift 6inches and the tire stays in place as the springs extend. This is where the old jeep jacks were handy for off road but they had a bumper you could jack against.
As far as jack stands, that's for longer term situations. If you are going to leave it up overnight, jack stands make sense. The time it takes you to crawl under and place the jack stands is going to be longer than shoving a board under and put you at more risk.
