That is interesting. Are you saying that temperature changes affect the hydraulic pressure enough to allow the jacks to drop a bit? Often when I start the engine after storing the RV for a month or so with the jacks up, the panel activates, the hydraulic pump turns on, and I assume the jacks are lifting. Then I have to turn off the panel. I always assumed it was air in the system or a slight leak.
If what you say is happening, then perhaps that's a good thing because it relieves some of the the hydraulic pressure keeping the jacks up, and will therefore be better for the seals than having that high pressure on them for long periods of time.
