Have to ask the hydraulic jack guy. If they say don't do it their must be a good reason. Why chance it? A guess, maybe it is not good on the suspension to lift the axels unsupported. Maybe it could tweek the frame or house. If the guy that built them says not to it I'll take his word for it.
They say don't do it because it's unsafe not to do it correctly. For example how many people do you think have raised their motorhome with the jacks and then crawled under it without using jack stands? One leaking hydraulic line and you get crushed. People will also raise the wheels off the ground on hills and that is also dangerous. So if the motorhome companies don't put warnings in the manual not to do this, then whenever somebody does it wrong and gets hurt then they sue because nobody told them not to do it. As long as you do it safely on level pavement and use jack stands then it's safe to do it.
