Hal,

I'm sorry but I am going to disagree with you; it is not a flimsy frame, the lower horizontal cross section of the "[" frame rails
were not designed to be jacked under.

Maintenance Manual X-7525 / Section Index 0 - General Information / Pages 0-2 through 0-4 provide clear instructions how and where
to jack the coach.

Whenever I see a frame rail that has a lower horizontal cross section that is bent upwards I know that was caused by someone that
didn't read the MM.

Ragusa (http://www.ragusarv.com/) makes a neat tool to hang the wheels on the studs:

RV-09 Wheel Lifter Bar $29.00 ea

This lever bar allows you to lift heavy tires by placing the lifter into the center hole of wheel and over 4" dust cap. Lift wheel
and rotate to locate studs.

Be careful rotating the tires as most shops don't understand where the lift points are and jacking in the wrong places will cause
damage to the flimsy frame. It's really a simple job to do yourself doing one side at a time. Using a pair of jacks (or a single
jack if that's all you have) and jack stands or blocking for safety, lift one side at a time. Nothing complex at all, just a bit
heavy especially if you have steel wheels. I've gotten so I use a pry bar to position the wheels into place anymore. Just gettin old
I guess.
Hal
