If all else fails and it turns out it's your cylinders, call around or visit shops that rebuild cylinders to see if they'll help you. I had Kiwkee Level Best levelers on my previous MH and ruined a seal. The Kwikee cylinders are powered both ways - there's two hoses to each leveler and no springs. Technically, they are not serviceable. After assembly, they are welded closed. I found a couple of shops that would renew the cylinders if I cut them open - they'd replace the ram and seals then weld them back up for me. The cost was around $300 per cylinder - not cheap but much better than buying a new cylinder. I carefully used a cut-off wheel on a 4 inch grinder to cut the old welding bead and the top fell off. The repaired cylinders worked great and never leaked while I owned it.
