Auto leveling jacks
When storing your motor home for 30 days or more do you put your jacks up or down? I guess what I'm asking is does it hurt to put them down for long periods of time?

I don't use them in storage. I guess I don't like the weight on the hydraulic system if it's not needed. That puts more weight on the tires, but I think (even on a DP) tires are easier and cheaper to change than the hydraulic system. If anyone has a compelling reason to use the leveling system while in storage, I'm willing to listen.

My HWH system does not pressurize the whole system when the jacks are down. When the system is shut off the jacks are the only things pressurized.
What is the whole system you mention? There is only the pump, the 4 lines and the 4 jacks. The Jacks AND the Lines have pressure when the jacks are extended. Slide rooms (HWH) ALWAYS have pressure either extended or retracted. Doug
You must have a different system than I do.
Here is the answers to all the HWH system questions
HWH questions and answers
That link says NOTHING about when and if pressure is on the system and says nothing about only the jacks having pressure. Doug(HWH certified since 1994). Jacks DOWN mean extended. When UP(retracted) there is NO pressure on the jack system at all, but there will always be pressure on a HWH slide room. Doug
