We got them retracted and the same for the level up system; stop and go. I checked the fluid level and it was low. It was clear liquid so I added a quart of brake fluid; it was that low. It still does it but now only once or twice while pulling in the sides, but the power goes out and then comes back on. The fluid is just below the full mark on the tank. Any ideas? We bought our Monty used in September 2018 and have been full time since May with no problems until now. Any ideas?

Brake fluid is not compatible with hydraulic fluid or the seals in your jacks and power pack. If you don’t flush your system you will be in for some serious expense. The system should have either Aw32 or ATF fluid. My rig came from the factory with AW32.
