Rookie RVer :C here! Is there any maintenance required / suggested for leveling jacks? I believe they are hydrolic.....

Some have zerc grease fittings on the fixed part of each jack and some do not. Check yours and include in the routine lube service.

And when the alarm goes off, without good reason and won't go off, try adding a little DEXTRON III fluid, to the reservoir.

Not a whole lot. Maybe a drain a refill every 10 year or so of the fluid tank, annual visual inspection of the fittings and hoses for leaks or blisters. I cycle them to full extension monthly during the winter layup when I run the generator.

Check fluid level with levelers RETRACTED, then as above extend levelers and wipe down with WD40 to get them clean. No need really for lubricant, just need to be clean.

Keep the piston clean. What every fluid in the system , wipe down the piston every so often and cycle and wipe off excess.
