I purchased the following jack stands from Summit Racing. They are 22 tons per jack stand.

I run my MH up on ramps as previously described, clock the wheels, and the put the jack stands in place.

Personally. I would never use jack stands under my coach while under it. Coaches are reasonably high to start with so I use ramps similar to RKins but not as high.

I built wooden ramps 2x12s, much safer, easy to use.

If you want to carry them, that's a different story. |
I did the same thing for the house. I serviced my car and pickup yesterday and found that they're also very useful for smaller vehicles.

Not that it changes what they are, just that two folks have mentioned them being 22 tons each, and I don't think that's correct.

For DIY at home use, the ramps are the most many will ever need.
If air suspension leaks down too fast for you to service coach, then you've got other issues to address.
A set of jack stands placed under frame with suspension aired up, will ensure it stays that height when air leaks down
.....or if your the DIY type that would remove a wheel.
Just be sure to chock/block front tires if lifting rear axle, as there's no parking brake on the steer axle. But there's another thread here for that, lol

The first line of the description says "22 tons Per Jackstand Capacity"

Ahhh, at the Summit website. Just chatted with "Cale" at Summit, he called Sunex. 22 tons per pair. They are fixing their website.

I'd definitely trust the manufacturer. I included the confused emoticon because I was .... well .... confused 
It's good you pointed out the error.

That's 12 tons for the PAIR, not each. That might work for my front axle but not the rear.

In the early 90's I was the motor home tech at a Chevy dealer in SoCal. They also had a medium duty truck shop. They had a 40,000 lb. capacity 4 post drive-on lift that could put a motor home 6' in the air. The first couple of times I used it, I was pretty nervous. It's quite impressive to see a 34' coach "fly".
