"Is it a "good practice?"

Glen, I would say probably not a good practice. One, my gut jst does not like it, and it is just not necessary to do it that way. Putting all of what is normally "wheel weight" on the small area of two jack heads could be risking frame damage, IMHO. I also think that on the jacks, with wheels off of the ground, the "house" would probably be much less stable in a high wind. High winds are bad enough with all normal "feet" on the ground, without having to worry about whether an unattached jack stays "semi connected" in the WHOOOOOOOOSH lol lol
