Really? Maybe you ought to get down on the ground and look a little closer. MHs use Lippert leveling systems with a central reservoir and pump with 4 hydraulic jacks that probably look just like those on a 5th wheel, but probably shorter than the front two jacks on the 5th wheel.

Now the control system may look different but on a DRV with rams front and rear it probably functions pretty much the same.

There are some MHs that use an external spring to return the rams to their stored position but those are usually older models; Newer spring return to stowed rams have internal springs.
