I had this problem a while back. The legs going down all the way after a few min. First one then the other. Same deal though if you grab one the other would drop. Thats because the way they are interconnected. Same as when they lift, one then the other until they balance the pressure. I did have to drill and bolt them to get home. The pressure is residue after the pump stops. The suction seals that are suppose to stop it.

Both the rams were replaced and it solved the problem.

I know that you have been through a lot with this, but I wonder if the RH ram that has yet to be replaced is leaking a small amount on the suction seals causing the opposite ram to extend. I don't know how they checked it out to determine it was OK, but it would be my next step.

Also just because a part was replaced, it could well have been a faulty part on install. It happens more often than you may think. Very frustrating!

If your unit is an early 05 like ours, they put in smaller rams then and have since went to much larger ones. Which is what they put in ours.

If you are not too far from Indiana, maybe take it to DT front door and let them and Lippert have at it! They have to sort this out for you! DT and Lippert are in this together.

Best of luck sorting this out! I feel for ya!!
