Both are pretty big objects and should not be hard to find, if there.
Mine are under the bed.

Yes. The jack was about 2' tall and used a chain to lift the front
bumper or the rear bogie. The lug wrench was a typical car type with
a socket on one end and a flat on the other end to remove the wheel
cover. Forget both of them. They were useless.

I have a transmode that I am converting to MH use and it came with a lug
wrench that was anything but useless. Mine is 52 inches long!! I can
lossen and tighen the lugs without the usual gritting of teeth, etc. It
even has loosened a lug that an air impact wrench could not remove. I
store it in the long box that came in this transmode that is accross from
the dinette.
I didn't get the factory lift so I use a auto shop style flooor jack.

Doubt if it was original but who knows with the transmodes.
I made a wrench similar to what Thom describes. It would always loosen
a wheel nut no matter how tight. Used a 3/4" T bar, a short extension,
a socket to fit the nut and most importantly, a 5' pipe to
fit over the T bar. Don't know about moving the earth but it sure
loosened those lug nuts.

I don't know about yours, but mine is bolted to the frame inside the right
front engine access door. It's hose clamped to the master cylinder at the top.

I believe under the front coach. IF anyone thinks that it is not useful.
How would you get the tires changed on the side that has a flat tire and a
deflated air bag caused by a blown tire? To low for any other jack that I
have seen.

Mine is under a false floor in the closet, on top of the genset housing.

When I picked mine up new at the dealer, I found the jack and wrench
under the coach in a plastic bag.
