Darby,

Does the jack control panel show that a jack is not retracted when that one is sagged down? My panel will sound an alarm if the jacks are down and you put the coach in gear...and the panel has a LED that shows when any jack is not all the way up.

Because I live in my coach near my out of state job, and don't move it more than 4 to 6 times a year -- I have made a habit of retracting the jacks each time I start the engine -- even if I think they are already up. It does not sound like your jack is moving fast enough to be a concern while driving if you retract each time you begin to drive before you put it into gear...but I would still get it fixed if I were having such a behavior.
