They leak internally

So now we are back home, and we took it to our RV Repair shop. Their diagnosis was the hydraulic lines are "corroded" and need to be replaced.

They want $2,000 for labor, then they would take the hydraulic lines off, and have new ones built for it. That $2,000 does not include the manufacturing of the hydraulic lines.

Has anyone else ever experienced this on their Montana.

Ours is a 2013.
Ours will drop a bit over a months time. There can be an internal leak at the low pressure and high pressure side of the cylinders and you would never see the leak or loose fluid. Add a quart of LCI anti stiction fluid. The entire story about replacing the lines make no sense at all. If the system is going to fail it will be one or more of the seals or at the solenoid valve block.
