This is not like a car with Jack points, your RV has a full truck chassis underneath. The front and rear solid axles and cross members are extremely evident. Any place capable to do this job should know what to do without hesitation. If they don’t I would not let them near my RV. At least that’s my understanding and it was certainly true when I got new tires 6-months ago.

Check your chassis owner's manual!

I used my leveling jacks to lift the wheels off the ground at Discount Tire. Used extra jack pads on rear to reach needed for height. No floor jacks needed... Larry 2014 Itasca Reyo P

That's pretty old. When I shopped around for tires I made sure the tires were no more than 6 months old. I found a set of 6 that were only 3-months past the DOT date.
