Long Term Storing

I have my jacks down. Will not be using motor home until next May. So 7 months all together. 

I would definitely spray them down with WD-40 and wipe them off before retracting them. The dirt and dry shafts could damage the seals.

This is true, but remember that WD-40 is really a cleaner and doesn’t privide lubrication. Since HWH states that you can use Automatic transmission fluid in their hydraulic system, you could after cleaning us it sparingly to lubricant.

Storing on the leveling jacks is advised, this removes all the coach weight from the tires, leaving only the chassis weight on them. Tires should be inflated to sidewall imprinted air pressure and covered for long-term storage according to Michelin, Firestone and Goodyear, to name a few tire mfgrs.

 

HWH jack shafts are made from SST, they do not rust. wildbill provided a link to proper care of jack shafts,

"Make sure to use water or WD-40 to loosen any dirt before
wiping the jack rod.
If the jack rod has been greased or silicone sprays have been used on the jack rod, use WD-40 to loosen
the grease or silicone and wipe the rod clean."
