For stuff around the house you cannot go wrong in building a set of ramps. They are awesome once you have them and make life much easier. There are directions on the photo site.
For on the road. I would get a 6 ton two stage bottle jack. Jim K sells them, or Menards.com on line have have it shipped. Torin Big Red Jacks. The two stage is what you want.
Then get a jack hook Again, Jim K Sells those.
The weight of the bottle jack and hook is less than a floor jack, and Stores well in the coach and will get a corner off the ground even with a flat airbag. I would not want to mess with anything else.
For stuff around the house when the bottle jack is in the coach. Get a 3 ton or more floor jack. Harbor freight has them on sale usually with a 20% off coupon. That will also lift a corner as needed.
Jack Stands. Build them, or go with 6 ton units. Rather have more than enough than be squashed.
I have a heavy Royale and the 3 ton floor jack is working to get a rear corner up. 6 ton bottle, no sweat.
77 Royale, Rear Dry Bath. 403, 3.55 Final Drive, Lenzi goodies, Patterson carb and dizzy.
