Using hydraulic bottle jacks for leveling

Hello. I have 1996 Monaco Dynasty 40'. For reasons I won't get into now...the automatic levelers are not working right now and probably won't be fixed for the rest of this year. I was wondering if I can use hydraulic bottle jacks to level the RV while we are staying places and if yes...where is the best place to place them? Thank you in advance.

    I would put them right under the built-in jacks.

    Harbor Freight will probably have the least expensive bottle jacks.
    Your hydraulic jacks may be a simple fix. If you throw the switch and you hear nothing, it is probably electrical, and could be as simple as a blown fuse. If you hear the pump running and nothing happens, then it may be a switching valve and a little more complicated, but still not that difficult to trace and fix.
