I never did get a firm answer from anyone about the proper place to put jack stands under the coach (don’t try Grok - it was not even close).  I do have a picture from years ago when Richard was trying to help me figure out where to jack the coach REAR but not the front.  I have updated that REAR picture to show the correct (I think) jacking locations for a 1998 Newell… YMMV… I plan to mark each jacking locations with ORANGE paint so shops, and myself when I eventually forget, the jacking locations.

The spot you circled is where I put my jack stands, should be the connection location where the trailing arm for the drive axle is attached. This goes up directly to the frame. That is what you are looking for a point that directs the force directly to the frame and the steel needs to be substantial or you are going to bend or break something. I do not generally do alot of jacking of my coach, I use the air suspension or drive up on ramps to get the coach raised, this is the quickest method instead of sliding under and using a jack to pick up the coach. This method also keeps you from racking the coach by accidentally jacking one side up more than the other etc. Eventually I will have wheel lifts to pick up coaches, but that is down the road for me.
