Yep but usually each hydraulic jack is rated at like 8000 - 12000 # each where as a small manual jack might only be rated at 2000 - 3000 # and not the length to reach the frame in spots.
Im sure you could use a manual jack (with blocks) and take some weight off the the suspension (but dont lift tires off the ground) and that might be enough to level RV (along with tire lego blocks).
