Yes, you can plug the trailer into your truck to use the truck's battery(s) to raise or lower the front jacks. However, while doing so, I would keep the truck running so your truck battery doesn't go dead. My truck is equipped with dual batteries so it isn't much of of issue with me, but of course it depends upon how much you are running the jacks to lift or lower the trailer.

A dry lube is best for the slide outs as it will not collect dust and dirt.
