Motorhome is a 2017 Thor A.C.E. 27.2.
Lippert Support has one fix.
If you are raising the home too much and putting a lot of strain on the jacks, I would say the popping is due to that. I believe it is just slight leakage (usually back into the system, not on the ground) that causes the noise.
If it continues to pop, usually you will notice the MH dropping, then it is a lot of leakage!
Now levelling (with boards) the MH before using the jacks, it is just taking some stress off of the jack, as the jack still does have to extend to the same length. Just the chassis suspensions are taking some stresses off.


Stay cool
