You know how Wanderlodges fall off the jacks sometimes? Often we park for the night, dump the air, and deploy the HWH jacks to level the coach. When it's time to leave some of us may neglect to air up the suspension before we retract the jacks. I'm sure most of us have experienced the result when we hit the HWH jack retract button w/o first airing up - the bus drops onto the bump stops. What if the tag bottoms first, what if the tag carries all of that falling weight and the drive axle none? This could hit double digit g forces. Always good to air up first.
