Long term usage of level-up system

Is there any harm is using the 6 point hydraulic leveling system for longer periods of time, let's say 3-4 months at a time? Other than the loud popping/settling sounds that it makes many times a day (what is that?), is there any harm in leaving the coach up on the hydraulic jacks for that long? Maybe I should retract and relevel every few weeks to "exercise" the system?

Thanks

Cool, thanks for the feedback. Now I'm going to order some of the Torco RFF 15 to see if I can get rid of the constant popping. Our hydraulic jacks make loud popping noises. I would say I get 25-30 pops an hour, very annoying.

I guess we're pretty lucky, we only get the popping noise every once in a while. Good luck!
