1. In combination: a vehicle chassis including a frame having a vertical surface extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of said frame;

and a motor home support comprising: a vertical mounting plate having a fixed horizontal arm secured thereto adjacent the mounting plate top surface, said vertical mounting plate having a surface abutting and secured to said chassis frame vertical surface;

a rotatable screw whose axis extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of said horizontal arm and having a movable nut positioned on said screw, said screw having means formed thereon for rotating said screw;

a planar ground support plate movable from adjacent one end of said arm to a ground engaging position wherein said ground support plate is in a plane parallel to the plane of said horizontal arm;

a pivot junction fixed to one side of said ground support plate;

a first support leg pivotally interconnected between said mounting plate adjacent said mounting plate bottom surface, and said ground support plate at said pivot junction; and

a second support leg pivotally interconnected at one end to said ground support plate at said pivot junction and at the other end to said movable nut.

2. A motor home support in accordance with claim 1 wherein said first and second support legs are movable from a position wherein said second support arm axis is generally perpendicular to the axis of said first horizontal arm to a collapsed position wherein said first and second support leg axes are generally parallel to the axis of said fixed horizontal arm.

3. A motor home support in accordance with claim 1 wherein said movable nut is adjacent said mounting plate when said support arm axes and said horizontal arm axis are in said parallel position.

4. A motor home support in accordance with claim 1 wherein said ground support leg is tiltable for adjustably mounting said ground support plate on a ground surface.

5. A motor home support in accordance with claim 4 wherein said support legs each contain telescopic portions for adjusting said support plate with respect to said ground surface.
