OK, in my opinion
DO NOT DO what you have pictured.
In the first picture, put your jack stands where the bottle jack is. Do not put them on the bottom of the bushing where they were shown in the picture. That will move and possibly move off the stand or destroy the bushing.
An alternate location for the jack stands would be located behind and inboard of the front tires. Locate the horizontal steel tubing that runs at the bottom of the fender wheel behind the front tire. Follow it inboard until you see where it is welded to a large vertical steel tube. Put the jack stand under that weld point. Do the same for the other side.
Your floor jack will lift the wheel if the coach is supported on jack stands.
I am sorry I do not have pictures, nor do I have a Newell to take pictures.
A sanity check after getting the coach on jack stands is to use the leveling system and exhaust all the air from the air bags on the end that you are working under. In other words you are placing all the weight on the jack stands without being under the coach to test their effectiveness.
Look at the end of the A arm close to the shock mount. You will see a protrusion between the A arm and the wheel that sticks straight down. Put the bottle jack on that protrusion.
