There is simply no answer other than "yes, it's safe TO BE IN THIS COACH" That was the original question and the answer is indisputable. If someone went under the coach it would be bad, but that was not the question. If a jack failed it might throw someone inside off balance but how bad could that be? One or both of these massive jacks fail with explosive force? I doubt it. One or both leak down (even over the course of a couple of minutes)? Possible but again not dangerous. I have done exactly as you see here. I have been at numerous RV rallies where I have seen other RV's doing exactly this same thing and no one ever had an issue.
With that said, I was also at an FMCA rally in Perry, GA where someone thought it would be OK to use the jacks to raise the coach and then work underneath. I can't remember if the gentleman died or not but he was under the axle with the tire off when the unit collapsed. I believe that the space created by the differential hitting the ground before the axle did saved him but it took a folk lift and many superior EMS personal to get him out and on his way to the hospital. That was stupid. The scenario pictured above is not unless you had plans to wander underneath this setup.

I did not notice the the OP ask if it was safe to walk around inside the coach. I thought he ask if it was safe to be around. Every owners manual I have seen for levelers states it is not safe to be around or under these units when up on jacks. He ask an opinion and I answered. That however is not reason enough for some of these Forum Police to belittle people for having an opinion. There is no reason to get snippy and rude because you don't agree with someone. I have been on this and other forums for many years. I enjoy a good exchange of information. I think the moderator should warn people for smart A** answers that add no value to the discussion. And I am not talking about you Bill.Satellite. I'm sure the others know who I am speaking of. It's different if someone is poking fun and joking. But some people mouth off just to be seen in writing. Very few people on this forum know me well enough to form an opinion based on one comment I make.

Take a Break! What you write here is all most people have to judge you by. You were kind of offensive yourself a couple of times.
