Just watched a Jim Bounds video where he checked the rear suspension on a coach in his shop.
When he was jacking up the rear, he mentioned that you have to jack the rear first and then the front because if you jack up the front first you can "pop" a windshield (I'm guessing he was talking about putting her up on jackstands?)

So my question is, can you jack up the front without jacking up the rear, say, if you had a flat up front and needed to put the spare wheel on? Can you do that without cracking the windshield?

Just yesterday I had an enlightening conversation with Colin (CEdey), who told me you always jack the coach up from the center and I can see that making sense ...just not clear what Jim was referring to unless he meant getting the whole coach up on stands?
I might have to change the tires and/or wheels and just need to know the routine in case the tire place doesn't!

Oh and does the coach come with a jack? Where is it usually stored? I asked the previous owner's brother and even though he drove the coach about 12,000 miles - he didn't know Rolling Eyes
