So far I have not had a hydraulic problem on my coach, but eventually a seal is going to leak. Glad you found a shop that is honest and did a good job for a reasonable price.
I thought I saw seal kits for the jack cylinders on the Lippert site.
My problem kept leading me to believe the pump was not putting out.
I kept thinking that is a gear pump, when I had it apart, it did not show any wear!
Turned out to be the directional valve was getting stuck.

One time apart, the spool shifted by pushing on it.
Problem again, finally pulling it again, and the spool was stuck.

Internet search to find out who is made by and where to get one.
The part had some numbers stamped on the hex part for a wrench to install it.
Not offered by Lippert.
You cannot buy the pump by itself either, but ours was not bad.

The directional valve was a $41 part, minimum purchase of $80, through an industrial supply hydraulics store.
So we now have a spare we may never need after swapping out the problem one.
