After spending about 5 hours today at the dealership talking to service advisor and tech, talking to Lippert customer service, very nice by the way, and was the same tech that the dealership had talked to, talking to two other repair facilities about the problem, the warranty company (don't go there now!) I am convinced that metal particles/shaving/spurs located with a magnet in the hydraulic fluid even after three flushes (Lippert directed) is the result of one of the internal valves, pistons, pumps failing and the only way to have the system working and guaranteed is to have the leveling jacks, the slide rams and vertical pump replaced.

Now getting the warranty company to pay is the war of words right now.

Thanks to everyone that replied. If the new information sparks something, let me know. I appreciate it.
