The jack points on my "70 Globe are about a foot or so behind the axle.
When I bought new tires for it, the (non AS) RV dealer wanted to jack it
up on the axles and any place he could find that would support the
weight. I'm lucky he didn't do damage to my unit.

The '72 Sovereign I'm getting will require the stub axle alignment. The
front curb tire is wearing badly on the outside.
