Your make of rv along with all the others will say "only under the frame" & there will be several on here to agree! For 40 years of rving & doing my own maintenance I've always put the jack on or between the the U bolts at the springs & so far not 1 problem from doing this. DO NOT place in the center of the axles, you could dent or bend the axle causing tire wear or other problems.By jacking from the frame you'll need a very tall jack or lots of blocks & then the trailer itself will be very high to get the wheels off the ground creating, in my opinion, a more dangerous situation. You can drive/back up on blocks with 1 wheel to raise the other unless you've got the wide stance axles. If you have the hydraulic levelers you can just push the buttons to raise 1 side of the trailer. There's also a plastic device you can drive/back onto that does the same as the blocks, do recall the name.

The plastic block referred to above is a Trailer Aid. There is also a Trailer Aid Plus, which is an inch taller than the Trailer Aid.

There is another way and not have to worry about damaging the frame or finding a jack tall enough. I bought a Trailer Aid on Amazon and it works great go to this link https://www.amazon.com/Trailer-Aid-T.../dp/B000I4JPZE

Yep, that's the doodad! As I mentioned though if you have the wide stance axles, wide track or whatever it's called when the tires are about a foot apart, it most likely won't work.
