  1. I have had this same issue on my 2015 MS 41RSSB4. We were loading up to go weigh the 5'ver and noticed one of the front hydraulic jacks was slowly descending. I re-activated the level-up and brought the jacks back up....same issue down again they slowly descending. After repeated attempts, I went to Home Depot and bought some chain and bolts, wrapping and bolting the chain around the leg and the pad at the bottom and then again bolting and wrapping the chain around the upper flange that extends down from the underbelly trim. the first attempt proved the chain was not heavy enough as the chains broke from the pressure. The jacks were descending so fast I had to block under them and then apply the chains. After repeated attempts, I went back to Home Depot and bought heavier chains. I finally got the chains to hold for the 45 mile trip to my selling dealer. Probably the most nerve racking trip I have ever taken hoping the chains would not slip or vibrate off. We made it to the dealer and they have diagnosed that the front jacks are going to have to be replaced. My question is this...why has not Lippert designed in some kind of manual work-aroung this...as the failure while traveling down the road at 60 to 65 MPH could be devastating. Yesterday we made the return trip home to our base camp as the dealer will have to order the cylinders and have no idea when they will arrive...just hope they have the expertise to properly install the new cylinders. I am one nervous cat.
