Dave, Mastertech is correct, that is exactly the way the Power Gear Jacks on our previous and present GS have worked. They work that way so they do not twist or bind the frame. They always level the coach in pairs but will go down one at a time when there is no resistance, when it touches the ground and builds a present amount of pressure, it checks the other jack by a pressure equalization valve to see if it has the same amount of pressure built up, if not then the valve activates to lower that jack until it touches the ground and pressure equalizes in the pair, then at that time it will lower them both to level the coach.

It works the same for each pair depending on what is needed to level, Front 2, Right 2, Rear 2, left 2. Also works the same for the manual or the Auto leveling controls like we have on our coach.

Hope this simple explanation helped,
