Jack's- What do you use?

I have a 2000 Alpine LE 36FDS. Im going to do some checking out the chassis ect. So for maintenance and or emergencies on your coach what Jack type, lifting capacity and brand do you use. As advised I Will use jack stands! I just ordered 22 ton OTC Jack stands; overkill yea. Front axle is 9 in height with GAWR at 10,500 lbs. Rear axle about 16 in height with GAWR at 17,500 lbs. Trying to find the right jack(bottle at this point) is a pain! So what do you say?

I use the leveling jacks to stabilize the chassis and a 20ton air over hydraulic bottle Jack to pick up the axle. Yes, it's a pain but it is the only system I've come up with that can be carried in the coach and used on the side of the road. I carried a mounted spare in my last motorhome and used the system a couple of times.
I don't ever get under the coach with the tires off!
