Jacks creeping down?

Have coach in storage for a couple days. Jacks are up. After a couple days, I turn on key and get alarm that jacks are down. Visually check them all. Appear to be stored. Press store button, jacks sound like they are retracting and the alarm stops. This only happens when parked for 2 or more days. Could it be a sign of low hydraulic fluid?

IF your jacks are fully up, but you press the raise the jacks button anyhow, the system will try to raise the jacks. You will hear the pump running. If you were outside, you would not see the jacks move but it is trying to raise them anyhow.

My guess is that your manifold which controls and checks all the hydraulics to the four jacks is losing power somewhere or sensing there is loss of pressure from the system somewhere, and the control panel falsely indicates the jacks have moved down and initiates an unneeded jacks raise command. I am guessing that the problem is in the control manifold.

This was common on my year and model coach. The salesman told me to always hit the "all jacks up button" if the coach had been sitting for any length of time. I have always done this and have not had any problems.

A young lady at Entegra CS (sorry I can't remember her name but she was very helpful) told me that's normal if stored for a period. Not sure of the period but for me it seems to be about a month.

I called CS first time because it took me a few minute to try the retract all and I wanted to verify no issues.
