The more I read about the TM, the more I'm impressed. Thank you again!

I'm also not sure what hydraulic jack the owner is referring to. If it is the tongue jack, I thought most were either mechanical or electrical only. Whatever the case, it can be replaced very easily.

The corner jacks are almost certainly mechanical scissor jack type.

The current owner may be confusing terms and calling the lift system "hydraulic jacks". As Bill said, many confuse it with the HiLo system which is hydraulic. Whatever the case is, no matter what jack/lift system it has, it can be adjusted or replaced. Even the torsion bars can be replaced (don't ask me how I know that!)
