Discovery power gear jacks

[Discovery]

I have a 2011 Fleetwood Discovery. After I retract jacks and start to travel, the alarm goes off. It does this when making left turns and will do it every 20 minutes or so, usually 3 or 4 times. MH has been in dealer service for 2 weeks now, they haven't figured it out yet. Has anyone experienced this? Or have a cure?

Are these jacks electric or hydralic? If hydralic the reservior may be low on oil. If electric do a post search here on the forum. There has been a lot discussed about problems as you describe.

From those symptoms I would say you are a little low on hydraulic fluid. The alarm is given by a float sensor in the reservoir and going around a corner is sloshing the fluid enough to give set it off.

I have a 2010 Discovery and had the exact same problem. Fleetwood told me that it is not uncommon when new, the jacks needs to be used. They told me to extend and retract a few times and it cured the problem. Can't remember the exact reasoning but I never had the problem again. There is likely nothing wrong with your jacks.

Jacks are hydraulic and fluid level is good. Service dept seems to be stumped so it's nice to hear that they made need to work in
Thanks

The float switch may not be oriented correctly. It needs to be installed so that the pointed flute on the part that the big nut screws onto is pointed straight down. The rounded part should point up.
