What do you see as the gain if you do both? It seems like just an extra step with no benefit. Given that 95% of campers have electric jacks, it's 10-20 second of pushing a button.
Well, if when you put your drives on blocks to level, then worry about the trailer bouncing, running the jack down will stop the same amount of bounce, hooked up or not. Sure, need to run it up before you move.
If you just roll off the blocks with the jack down just enough to stabilize it, the jack will then take the full load and drag along... so you aren't driving to the bath house in the event of a tornado.
What education I have is limited. When I went to school a new paragraph indicated a change in topic. IMHO the fact that sometimes tornados happen, and sometimes it is a distance to storm shelter is a reason it might be prudent to unhook, have the TV ready to move
