Re: [A/S] Jack question

CHUCK AND LYNN 
I BOUGHT A 1978 31FT IN AUGUST THAT HAD BEEN PERMANENT FOR THREE YEARS WITH 
LITTLE MAINTENANCE. IT WAS PARKED WITH NOTHING UNDER THE WHEELS AND HAD SUNK 
INTO THE GROUND 4-5 INCHES. WE MOVED IT WITHIN THE PARK BUT BEING UNFAMILIAR 
AND WITH LITTLE ROOM TO PLACE A JACK DID WHAT WE HAD TO. I HAD THE AIRSTREAM 
MANUAL WHICH SAID TO JACK AT THE PAD RIGHT BEHIND THE TANDEM WHEELS. WE SAW 
NO PAD, TRIED JACKING ON AXLE, BUT STOPPED WHEN AXLE BOWED. JACKED ON FRAME 
THAT SHOCK WAS ATTACHED TO AND BENT ANGLE. RETRIED BETWEEN WHEELS ON FRAME 
AND WAS ABLE TO RAISE LEVEL WITH GROUND AND MOVE TRAILER. AFTER MOVING I 
WANTED TO CHECK BRAKES AND WHEELS AND SINCE I NOW HAD CLEARANCE I SLID UNDER 
TO FIND A GOOD PLACE TO JACK. GUESS WHAT I SAW? A LABEL 30" BEHIND THE WHEELS 
SAYING "JACK HERE ONLY" WITH A 2" SQ. PAD INDICATING THE MAIN FRAME AT A 
CROSS BRACE.
LOOK AROUND BEHIND THE WHEELS FOR A FEW FEET THIS WAS MUCH FURTHER BACK THAN 
I EXPECTED.
