Did the additional jacks Saturday. Three were fairly straightforward - I felt around and picked spots quite close to what I wanted to start with. Some time with the drill, then bolt on.
The fourth was tough - there was all kinds of stuff where I wanted to put the jack. There were drains, propane lines, electrical lines, ... Everywhere I felt on the inside of the frame was occupied.
I placed the fourth jack as best I could without relocating anything. I cut a piece of 3/16 inch steel the width of the frame and the same length as the attachment point. I used two bolts only on the outside of the frame, going through the jack base and the steel plate. Now comes a weld across the bottom of the frame at each end of the steel plate and a weld on the base of the jack to the steel plate.
Next is some time with the wire brush, sandpaper, and Rustoleum to keep ahead of the rust - was cold and rainy all day Sunday so could not get that done.
