    Hydraulic leveling and emergency brakes

    Leveled my class c Forester today, which lifts front tires off the ground an inch or so. The Jack's will not deploy unless emergency brakes are on. Good idea. The problem here is , , , with the emergency brake pressed all the way down, the front wheels still spin freely. What's up with that?

    Hydraulic Hose Warning

    A friendly heads up to 2011 Georgetown 360 and similar chassis owners. Remove your stairs and look to the left side and see the hydraulic reservoir. The hoses that are connected to the reservoir are jammed up against a sharp edge of the metal frame. It is only a matter of time that vibration...

    We have a Forest River Wildcat 2012 302RL 5th Wheel and the hydraulic slideout is leaking between the pump and the reservoir when you put it in and out. Dealer wants around $1,000 to replace pump with labor. It might just be an o-ring. Dealer told us that the manufacturer does not sell a seal...

    Jack hydraulic fluid?

    So during my never ending quest to keep en eye on things I noticed a very small amount of hydraulic fluid around the jack hydraulic pump. They are working fine but I wanted to check to see if this is normal. A small amount on the tray the pump is mounted on? It's basically just a film and the...

    I am new to this forum so forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask this. I just bought a repo 2014 XLR Thunderbolt 395amp and it has been robbed of several key components.

    I have a 2017 Cedar Creek Hathaway that my wife and I really enjoy. But this past weekend when we were setting up at the campground I had problems with the slides extending.

    I am looking to add the Quadra Big Foot hydraulic leveler to my 2012 Class C. The Big Foot Platinum system is currently on sale for $1988.00, but I don't relish an over ten hour drive to get Quadra to install. Anyone know of a shop that can do it in Virginia?

    I noticed that after 3yrs Lippert recommends changing the hydraulic fluid in my 6 point self levelling system on my Silverback 33IK made by Cedar Creek. I don't know how complicated it is or how messy it is and not sure that I would be comfortable with making sure the system is bled properly...

    Airbags and Hydraulic Levelers

    So in reading my Ride Rite materials it states one should never raise the vehicle by the frame w/ air in the bags. Isn't this what we're doing when we activate our hydraulic levelers? Should I be emptying the air bags every time I drop my levelers?

    Lippert Hydraulic Motor

    Mine has been giving me intermittent problems until this weekend, when it just refused to work. It's the DC motor that actually turns the pump, and I get voltage at both leads on the motor, depending on which way I attempt to move it. All I get is the dead starter relay click sound though - no...

    Pull test with hydraulic LevelUp

    I read a question about this a long time ago but it didn’t matter at the time because it didn’t apply to me at the time. So now I’m asking because that’s better than Google and y’all are awesome! Ok- so when you retract the LevelUp system, it raises one foot entirely and then the other. I...
