I have seen these and others like them. They look like they would be great.
Unfortunately they still rely on the jack points of the bus/bug and I don't
like to trust the jack points. They would be ok to use like in an emergency on
the side of the road to change a flat if you have a floor jack with you, or to
temporarily raise a lowered bus to get a better jack under it. But I wouldn't
want to count on them unless I had to.

Has anybody ever used one of these jack plates that slide into the jacking
point?
