hwh jack cylinder shafts do not rust. american made stainless steel does not rust.
chrome plated steel like some other manufacturers will. even the newer hwh jacks with nickel impregnated steel shafts do not rust. 100 hours of hot salt water spray showed no corrosion.
as far as storing with the jacks down, its is recommended but not required. its your coach. do as you wish. just dont read the service or operators manual. you may find the right answer.
this is an item debated every year and the same arguments from both sides.
anybody that has worked on coaches as long as doug or i have, know what is recommended. but dont take our word for it, read your manual
and yes if you dont have jacks dont do that
RVA jack cylinders also do not suffer from rusted cylinders. In fact RVA tells you that their cadmium plated cylinders can be scratched and it still will not affect the operation or the seal. RVA cylinders are 1/4" smaller than the bore and the seal is at the top of the cylinder and not affected by pitting, corrosion, or scratches on the cylinders. As you said, all it takes is to read your owners manual, or go to their website.
