CW- good to hear you are safe.
You mentioned that the jacks are well lubed. I need to perhaps perform maintenance on my HJ's, but they are fully manual with no motor. Do I need to be concerned? The owner's manual (for mine)says to fully extend the jack and then to use lithium grease.
Do I need to be concerned on the manual jacks or do you think this situation applies only to the jacks type that you have with the motor?
At this point I don't know but, my jacks acted like greased lightening and were going down on their own. Happened very quickly, had to act fast. If I chickened out and ran back out of the way I'm pretty sure I would have camper laying on it's side. Instead I forced the hand crank back in and engaged the motors ea. time. Second time I was ready for it.
Hoping this post will reveal more information as more add folks to it. There is nothing in the manual about this
