Hydraulic jacks Again

[brassringer]

Has anyone else had any problems with the jacks falling down after retracted, or setteling after afew minutes. I am going for my fourth one in less than two years. Just wondering if I am the only one. Called factory and was told in Aug. earlist was Nov. to get fixed. Must be busy? I guess they can maybe squeeze me in Oct. Untill then have to use a bottle jack to level it. Thats fun. Oh well.

Is it a front Jack or rear ?

[brassringer]

It has always been the front jacks. Just today after the wife ran out the bedroom slide the jack will fall by itself all the way to the ground. That will be a blast at 60 mph.

I would guess its Air or another issue not the jack if it has been changed 3 times there must be something else .

just my guess

brassringer: Is your system from Lippert? If so it may utilize solenoid valves at the top of each leg or back at the manifold on the pump and one of those valves may be lifting or bad. If your system is the self leveling type where one leg lowers quickly until it contacts the ground then the other comes down and raises the coach evenly then there should be only one valve and it will likely be on the manifold.

A number of us have taken the step to drill a hole in the leg support frame and pin the legs up when in transit just in case a seal is weak and allows fluid to pass.
