Leveling jacks squeeking
When unhitching and extending the leveling jacks we notices they were squeeking/squeeling. This was after just the 2nd trip with our 2019 375RES.
Was wondering others have noticed this and if so what did you use to lubricate them? Perhaps some lithium grease?
Thanks,
Tim

I spray a cloth with silicone spray and wipe the exposed pistons occasionally. Don’t think I would put grease on them. You may want to check the bolts as well.

Charlie is correct. Either spray down the cylinders with silicone spray then wipe off the excess, or spray a rag and wipe. You just want the rams a little moist to keep the seal lubricated. Grease (even lithium) will attract road grime which will damage the seal.

I wouldn't describe the noise I heard from our hydraulics as "squeaking" or "squealing" - it was more like creaking to my ears - but the following might be interesting to you. Adding the anti-stiction fluid described at the following link made our hydraulic system operate more quietly and smoothly as suggested by Lippert, the people who make the system.
