Chris, 12 ton won't do it very well.
20 ton bottle jacks, and I also have one of the air/hydraulic jobs from HF. Works great.
6 ton jack stands are very iffy. I use 20 ton jobs.
If you are working in the back, look at where the radius arms connect the axle to the frame. There should be a metal pad under the area. That's a good place to crib.
This is where it can get a little murky. If you are cribbing for safety, I have used the rear area of the hitch or engine cradle. However if you plan on fully supporting the weight of the coach I would use those pads under the radius arms.
