1997 Bounder has issues with jack levelers and refrigerator

i have discovered i have two problems. The first one is my Hydraulic jacks keep showing excessive slope , even though its on level ground, where to i start to trouble shoot this issue.
The second issues is my refrigerator stopped working on gas, i was able to light it manually however when i removed the lighter the flame would go out. I could tell that the gas was shutting off. I did not hear the normal clicking sound for the igniter , however i could lite it with the lighter , but it would go out. works find on electric. just need to have a starting point to trouble shoot this issue.
thanks

This might help, My Refrigerator repair starts with this post and continues on the next page of the thread.

The very first thisng I would do is clean the ceramic on the ignitor and check the spark gap.

We had the same issue with our 2003 Bounder. It turned out that there were large flakes of whatever is inside the baffle for the roof vent. When we removed the guard, you could see what looked like paint chips blocking the pilot. We got in there with a small paint brush and cleaned it off...happened again on that trip and we did the same thing...worked great. Whatever coats the inside of that baffle apparently flakes off and drops down. Maybe this is your problem too...
