Your problem is what Ford pays for is: a 4 post lift that can lift 25,000 lbs and do a 1 hour job. That takes an outside lift or a large building with a clear 20 ft ceiling. Of course the shop could have service pit but the cost of insurance makes them impracticable. A shade tree guy will use a couple 20 ton jacks and cribbage and take most of a day. Ford won't pay for that. Iron Horse RV has an outside 4 post lift 50 ft long and it is rated at 30 tons. It is interesting to see A Newmar London Air 7 ft in the air. Evidently, even a $900,000 coach needs some repairs. <http://www.ironhorserv.com/rv-service/>
