crash down in the middle of the night!

[Bob Lawrence]

Hi Rose Mary,
Don't feel bad as I have done the same thing to our bus.
In my case, I tried lifting the bus after we first got her to see if
I could lift the entire bus off the ground with just the jacks..a guy
thing...anyway, she lifted up, stayed ok for about 1 minute, then
fell forward off the jacks. What a crash!!
Since the front jacks swivel back, no problem..the back jacks are on
a swivel bolt and swiveled back and the right rear pulled off the
fluid hose. Only damage done. Had a new hose made, simple repair.
If your hose is still attached to jack and it goes down without a
leak, you got lucky.
You would need wheel chocks to use on the front tires if you are on
another incline so this doesn't happen again.
Back wheels off the ground equals no brakes on the ground.
