motorhome to prevent it from slipping or falling. When using ramps,
be sure the front wheels are centered squarely on the topsides; put
the transmission in park; set the hand brake; and place blocks
behind the rear wheels. cauTion! do not use floor jacks to support the
vehicle while working under it. do not raise the vehicle onto concrete
blocks, masonry or any other item not intended specifically for this use.
