I was able to use nylon ratchet straps. I looped the free end around the base of the jack at the foot and hooked the strap. On the door side, I opened the baggage door and put the ratchet through the gap between the frame and door strut. Using the ratchet, I tightened the strap enough to snug it but not enough to stress the door or door strut. For the off door side, Did the same thing except I used one of the propane tank handle as a hook point for the ratchet end of the strap. Again, I did not apply an excessive amount of tension to the strap, just enough to snug it up. I made sure the jacks were retracted fully and snugged the straps again. As we travelled from South TX to IN to get them repaired, whenever we stopped for a break, I would make sure the jacks were fully retracted. My straps limited the drop to about 2-3 inches between retractions.
