Georgetown350,
Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I've been offline for a few days.
Yeah, I had the hydraulic pump go bad due to the seal leaking last November. Took about 4 months negotiating with Lippert but the new parts they sent me appear to have a much better design and I'm hoping that issue won't come back.
On my coach, the shelf is also about 12 inches from floor to ceiling but the hydraulic ram is on the right side of the ceiling and there is a black cover on the left side which I think is over some plumbing lines. The clearance between the floor and those two items is only about 8-9 inches. I stopped by the local HR dealer last Friday and asked their service manager how to get to that fitting and all he had to offer was that "there are a lot of tight spaces in these motorhomes where you have to get skinny and crawl in there". Of course, he also asked if I wanted to make an appointment for 2 weeks from now. My plan right now is to ask a couple of friends of mine that have a smaller body frame than me to see if they can reach the leak and try to tighten the fitting.
