I have a 2004 Featherlite gooseneck trailer that the 2 jacks do not hold. When I jack it up, the trailer will go down about an inch in 24 hours. Any ideas what is causing this to happen?

Sounds like a hydraulic cylinder may not be holding. Is the hydraulic fluid full? Look for oil spots where it may be leaking. It may also be leaking internally.

With that kind of age, we have seen crud and junk in the valve causing it not to seat completely and thus allow drift. Have had some success in major disassembly and cleaning of the hydraulics valve & solenoids around the pump and switching valve.
