That spontaneous leak happened to me, too. I know I was over extended.

Yep, normally I would not have, but the steering gear area is quite large, and even had it come down on the bags, there is pleanty of head/body room to be in, if it did. So I was not worried being in that place.

Just make sure you have cell phone coverage under there so you can phone a friend. and get the extended data plan so you can web surf while waiting for enough buddies to show up to lift the coach while you crawl out.

Yep, all of the above, and showed the safety watch how to start my coach so the bags pump up, since the ground sloped down, when they are full, I could slide out from the front. But it's something to think about, and contrary to popular belief, I would worry more about the air bags, than the jacks failing.

Air bags failing?!? Where did you hear such nonsense?
(Oh yeah, probably from hearing me complain about my old coach.... 5 times....)

See Here for a full discussion. I believe there are early model bracket photos somewhere in that thread, along w/discussion on your "Type 1" bracket. Short story- your setup may (probably does) get weld cracks that should be watched, and eventually a small welding job will likely be needed to reinforce the OEM design.
If you'll be at the Quartzite, AZ rally Jan 19-25, you can get a free inspection of your bracket by a known, suspected 'engineer' with experience in said topic.

I too have had amazing service from Keith and Karen at Redlands truck. Last month while they were doing brake retrofit (master brake cylinder ) their tech powerwashed my aluminum wheels. I was polishing them and found 2 cracks in wheels, if their tech had not gone above and beyond and powerwashed I might not have found cracks that were inside of wheel. They help me find a replacement and they picked up in Ontario and brought to us and installed for me. This could have been disasterous Thank You Redlands Truck
