How about cutting the ends of some 2"X12" boards at a 45 degree angle and stacking a cou;ple of them (screwed & glued together) to form a ramp . 2 ramps would raise either end, 4 would raise the whole coach?

What I was thinking was make several 'steps' from one thickness to about three or four. You would pull up on the first step, the back on to the next step, then pull forward to the next step, etc. Each step would be about three feet long for some safety factor. Would not be pretty if you drove off the higher steps.

Move back and forth, each time climbing onto the next step.
Kind of a pain, but it would work. When done, block the frame before climbing under.

I wonder if one tire of the rear duals would hold the weight or would you have to support both duals. Each rear corner is about 15,000 lbs according to the printout. Not sure about the tag, can't just leave it dangling I guess.

I have wheel weighters also, but have not weighted this coach yet.
There is not much clearance under there, even with the back bags pumped up.

I guess I still like the pit ...
