Help! One of my jacks won't retract or extend!

So I've had issues with my happijacs since day 1. It's partially my own fault - I never properly cared for them. One in particular always seizes up and I have to bust out the manual crank. It's a pain...

OP has a bad FRONT jack and the camper won’t stand on 1 front jack period end of story unless ya seriously ballasted in the rear.


Of course you can. Slightly raise the good front jack and the back jack on the other side. Lower the other rear jack. With a little tinkering the camper will be supported by the 3 good jacks and all the pressure will be off of the bad jack.
