Does anyone know a cure? Jacks creak when walking inside.

Your answer might be in this thread. Some type of additive to the hydraulic system.

Thanks for the reply- that was my next question!
We have the popping too so that was great but the jacks creak when we walk around inside. It's starting to get annoying.

My jacks make the noise when walking around, especially when there is a drop in temperature of about 20 degrees. I called Lippert and they said it is most likely air in the lines. I was to add the additive and run the jacks up and down about 20 times.
 
My jacks don't creak (yet), but there was a fair amount of movement (wobble) in the chassis whenever someone was walking around. I quit using the stabilizer jacks in the back of the fifth wheel, replacing there function with heavy duty automobile jack stands - I still had a fair amount of wobble. My neighbor said that he found some light duty screw jacks and installed them midway along the chassis frame and they worked great for reducing the wobble. I found these screw jacks at a RV supply store (rated for 3 tons, for stabilization use only). They came 2 to the box for about $26.00. After installing them, there is hardly any wobble at all when someone is moving around the interior and much less movement when someone is using the entrance stairs. So, if you are up the creak, you might want to try this...
