Jacks creaking?

So as I lay here in bed in my 2013 Georgetown 351DS ‘, I hear the occasional creaking / popping noise... mostly when someone moves in the rig. It sounds like slippage in the jacks but I feel no movement or change in level. Is this normal?

You need anti-stiction fluid. A good auto parts store can help or a truck supply company.

Yep, did it to mine just after I bought it new. Drove us so crazy I thought we were going to have to trade it in. Got my fluid at the local caterpillar dealer. It did the trick.

Wow! That is fantastic to hear. I had fears of bad seals or valves or something $$$$$. That sounds like an easy fix.
