Vehicle: 2000 Itasca Suncruiser 35', gas puller, owned four years
Situation occurred after parking and extending jacks fully (sloping campsite), then when leaving, HWH would not retract jacks (locked extended). In looking into the engine bay, I've seen hydraulic fluid sprayed everywhere I'm sure from when I (over-) extended the jacks. Temporary solution I found was through accessing pump in engine bay, on top of hydraulic solenoids/manifold. I slightly opened a bolt (~14mm) then closed it. This released pressure and then I could retract jacks. My next step is to add hydraulic fluid. And clean the legs w/WD-40.
