Noob here, buying my first MH after renting RVs multiple times.
The MH I'm buying is a 22" and rated at 12k lbs dry to 17k lbs gross. I'm thinking I rather install 4 manual scissors jacks than carry enough 2x12 blocks to level it. Suggestions? I've heard of folks using a (powerful) cordless drill w/ modified bit to raise & lower manual scissors jacks.
Also, I've never changed a tire on a vehicle this heavy, how do I go about doing it? Do i need 2 bottle jacks rated @ ~1/2 the gross weight? Can i just jack up corner to change a tire? If I install 4 manual scissors jacks for leveling, can they do double-duty for changing tires?
thank in advance for your advice.
