Extended use of jacks

[David Brady]

A while back I spoke with HWH about this and they said that
the jacks should be exercised every 30 days. Leaving the bus
up on jacks for 30 day intervals is fine, after which, the jacks
should be retracted and re-extended. You're then set for another
30 days.

Don't know why not... I've stayed up to six weeks in one location with the jacks down. They stayed exactly where they were supposed to. I don't think it makes much difference to the hydraulic fluid if it's on one side of the valve or the other.

I suppose you could contact HWH and see if they have any procedures they suggest, but I couldn't imagine what they might be...

I rarely use my leveling jacks because I have an air leveling system that I use when camping. However, when I park for an extended period of time the air leaks out of the suspension, so I wanted to use my leveling jacks. But my question is it ok to use the jacks for weeks at a time to keep the bus level?
