I assume these are hydraulic legs? If so, it sounds like the valve that shuts off pressure to the legs is leaking and allowing pressure to reach the leg hydraulic cylinders.
If they're electric, I don't have a clue.Howard and Peggy

That's unfortunate you are having more hydraulic issues. Were you able to unhitch from the truck? If you did, did the LG maintain its position while loaded?
It sounds like a seal is leaking or there could be an internal leak in the hydrualic manifold installed near your hydraulic pump.
Is this the same one that was replaced, or is it the opposite leg? If I recall, the drivers side LG is fed from the passenger side. Depending which one is drifting, could also indicate an internal leak in the opposite side LG (assuming driver side is drifitng).2023 Momentum 398M-R

This is a real long shot but I thought I would throw it out there as "something to try short term". There are two (or three) hydraulic lockout valves on the wall behind the curb (door) side propane bottle. They are black, round knobs and a little hard to see. If you are having problems with the landing gear dropping AFTER you have put the slides in, the slides maybe pressurizing the system. Again, this is a long shot. After you have put the slides in, turn the valves all the way clockwise. Do NOT overtighten them. Snug finger pressure is all you need. This will lock the slides in position and MAY help with the landing gear dropping. You will need to release the valves (turn then fully counter clockwise) before you can move the slides. Again, this is a long shot, but maybe worth a try.

FT, we have been able to unhitch and auto level. The landing gear always holds its position. And yes, it is the same one that was replaced. The “good news” right now is I am not having any concurrent issues with the hydraulic slides. My worry is the progression of this new issue with the LG slipping - first the left, then the left and the right, and, yesterday morning, the increased pressure on the ratchet straps. John

If the issues persist and/or change locations it may be contamination in the system. Last time I heard of that they ended up replacing the entire system to fix it. Hopefully you will get some good help from LCI today.

Since the pump supplies pressurized oil to all the hydraulic cylinders, if a shutoff valve is not sealing, the pressurized oil will also go to that cylinder even though it's not supposed to. The two front stabilizers are operated at the same time, so it makes sense that there's a single valve that shuts off pressure to the front cylinders. It would appear that this valve is defective. That would explain why the front stabilizers are trying to go down when you run out the slides.

David, thank you for your response. Two great ideas. Yes, maybe I was sent a defective cartridge valve. But your idea about dirt in the system is intriguing. As background, this problem began manifesting itself way back in March. We were in Panama City with travel plans to go to Gulf Shores. A serious thunder storm came through during the night with heavy, heavy rains. My problems began the next day as I was unhitching. Part of me is wondering if one of the jacks was flooded, and dirt that was on the jack got pushed into the system when I raised the jacks (at that time I didn’t know that is was important to wipe all the jack cylinders before raising the jacks. As you may have seen, several of the respondents on this string have raised the issue of contamination. I thought about emptying and replacing my ATF with fresh fluid (actually though of doing it twice). My serving dealer poo-pooed the idea, suggesting it was not necessary because this was a “closed” system. Do you think this might be worth a shot? John
