Jack stands...for Wanderlodge's

[Ron Thompson]

To anyone who can answer this,

What size jack stand is recommended for the 1995 Wanderlodge Wide body 42'. I
know that the weight unloaded is about 48,000 lbs. Would a 12 ton jack stand be
adequate or should it be a 22 ton?

I feel 20 ton or better is safest.

as I recall the price difference isn’t much

An old saying to err on the high side will work on the low side too. I agree
with Fred, get the 20 ton stands and be safe. Most of us have purchased 20 ton
bottle jacks when some one finds a sale, just as a point of reference.

Thats what I was thinking, that the 22 ton would be better. I have been checking prices and they run anywhere from $176.00 to over 300, depending where you get them from and where they were manyafactured. I am sorry, I just don't trust China steel. They don't seem to know how to temper steel very well. I have bought axes and they don't chip at the bite edge, they dent. If that is an example of good steel in China then I don't want my life dependent on them. I am a little apprehensive about the Pawl lock versus the pin lock. I trust the pin lock over the pawl lock. What do you think.

I have one 20 ton bottle jack but need to get another one. I don't like to raise just one side of the frame. Not good to twist that frame.

The pin lock seems more absolute,although the pawl lock type are using the coach weight to hold it in place.

Seems an uneven surface would put the pawl lock in jeopardy,but so is an uneven surface.

I don’t have a preference,but pin lock sounds like the best design.

Fred, Yep, I think so too and that is probably the way I will go. Thanks.

Make sure the rating is what you think it is. Is this is pairs or individually?
