Landing Gear

[Mike-Rv]

Hey all, Just purchased a new 2018 Keystone Sprinter Campfire Edition 29 FWRL and so far no complaints. I do have a question about Landing Gear. If you stand in front of the unit you will notice the landing legs appear to be tilted in towards each other slightly at the foot. Curious I got out the level and checked the vertical level of each leg. The level is nine inches long and no matter where I place it on the inside of each leg be it at the foot or the upper end it is off by 1/4 inch. Doing my fuzzy math and the total distance of the leg being about 54 inches that translates to about 1 1/2 inches inward on each leg from the top to the bottom. Okay so being very curious I looked at the weld connections on the frame and the uprights which each leg bracket is mounted on. The leg mounting brackets are not welded vertically straight. The bottom bracket is welded to a base mount which is welded to the I-beam frame and the upper bracket is welded to a two inch box steel section which is welded to the upright. The upright is not the same width as the I-beam it sits on and appears to be off and not vertical with the lower bracket.

Okay so here is my question. The landing gear works properly and does not appear to have any problems outside of the slow as molasses in January problem. Do you think I should have the situation corrected and have the legs vertically level or leave as it is?

Thanks

I wouldn't be too concerned about it. As long as it does the job of stabilizing the trailer.

Probably a rush weld job without attention to detail when it was installed.

Any noticeable damage to the feet or elsewhere? I ask since it could have been dropped at some point after delivery.

WHen you take the rig in for 'warranty repairs of hit list' (EVER rig has items that need attention---unless you ignore or do repairs yourself) point out the pigeon toed landing gear....get it documented so IF an issue arises you have it previously noted




Otherwise/.......go camping

This!
You might also want to put a cross brace on them if the toe is too drastic.
