[VAC] Re: jacking 68 Sovereign




I have a question that probably seems obvious - but here goes,.

Can you jack a 68 40 foot Sovereign International  by placing the jack 
under an axle, or will that damage the axle assembly?

  I know that Airstream put a nice labeled jack point on the frame just 
aft of the rear dual axle, but I also know that if I am not physically 
present, my tire shop will ignore my instructions and simply jack up 
from the axle.

Will they bend something?

(In other words do I have to stand there and supervise?)
