    I have a 2018 Winnebago Forza. One of the jacks is slow to retract and doesn’t go up as high the other jacks. The hydraulic oil level is good. Any ideas?

    There could be air in the line going to that jack that would most likely hinder the movement up and down. Best to go to a reputable shop and have that checked first and go on from there based upon what the shop finds. No doubt others will jump in with other suggestions as to what might be the cause. Welcome to the forum and be sure to post reviews, of where your travels take you, on the HOME side. Safe and Happy travels..........

    two other possible solilutions:

    the silver metal shaft might be dirty. extend the jack, spray librally with a lubricant, then wipe down with a clean cloth to get rid of any dirt then spray lightly with lubricant.

    also, the spring (that is what pulls up the jack when you retract them) may be stuck or broken or weak.
