I got rid of that large monolithic OEM jack real quick aftr getting the
coach and switched to two small 8"-6 ton bottle jacks. I carry a few
bits of 2x6" and 2x4 with me and have never run into a situation where I
could not jack up either the front or back with the two. At the front,
one may need the blocks to gain extra height in some situations and
there are times when one needs two jacks. At the rear if absolutely
necessary if one had a flat tire and the boggie was real low, I would
use one jack ,ablock of wood and do some very careful lifting on the
frame or maybe on the bumper to gain a bit of height. First choice would
be to use the blocks to run the wheel up on and thus gain a bit of
height .
Last time I got a flat tire I saw it going down, so got out my repair
kit and fixed it right on the the vehicle, without ever taking off the
wheel. I find around the shop the bottle jacks are indespensible.
