But can you get your Wheel Simulators off? I looked but didn't see where that point was settled.
I covet your 2 stage jack. My advice to get that is based on doing some research after listening to others' experiences. I already had a single piston 12-ton. Thought it was no longer working, and bought a 10-ton that HF was selling at the time we got the 2003 coach. Knowing better now, any "RV" jack I replace or recommend will be what Phil and others now have. But with a working 12, a newer 10, a 6, a 4, and two 2's I don't think it's time to add one.
I've changed only one Class C flat. Left rear blowout on old E350. Blocked the RF wheel and lifted LR with a the LR hydraulic leveling jack. Ignorance. That 1984 coach had four individual leveling controls, and I don't think anybody was worried about racking the coach by lifting one corner by the chassis.
Only other emergency stuff I've done was stuck brake calipers on RF and RR. Used the 10T at campsites and it turned out OK. I'm sure the state parks didn't want me doing that but I was kinda stuck and it worked out the coach was pointed away from the casually curious. I went back and did the other side of the brakes, but at home on the concrete pad.
