hydraulic

After we took delivery of our new trailer I started reassembling my RV Roadside Emergency Kit. I dug out my trusty old hydraulic jack and found enough seal seeps and weeps to give me the creeps! ;) It was well past time for a new trailer jack. I started searching the web and found the...

I've seen in other posts where folks said if you only want a certain slide to come out first, hold pressure against the slide that normally comes out first and the next lightest slide would come out first. So, my FW is up for the winter under the shed with the cover over it. I want to open only...

First long trip with our 2015 38fl and all the hydraulic slides are coming out a few inches while we are driving. Drove about 500 miles today and stopped a few times to bring them back in. The front living room slides are fine. Is there some sort of locking mechanism I'm not aware of? Any...

Well, We are on our 2nd outing in the RV and I just keep learning! Today I left Kissimme KOA and the RV was bouncing like no body's business and I just learned (through this forum) I did not let the air bags inflate! I actually think it was the jacks because I pulled into Target and retracted...

Had a problem where the dinette slide is being pushed out after all jacks and kitchen slide are retracted. The dinette slide would start coming out after driving down the highway. Sometimes as much as a foot. After pulling over and retracting the slide and putting the slide locks on (which...

When staying in a salt water area for an extended period do the shafts of the jacks need to be protected from the salt air?? ie, coating them periodically with WD40 or some other thing?? Thanks Denny Sent from my iPhone using Forest River Forums

I've been chasing a popping noise in the hydraulic levelers and in the process of following instructions from Equalizer went to look at the pump and manifold, In the process I noticed there is no retract line for the right front jack plumbed to the valve body. I've attached a photo to show that...

Camper was at dealer for two weeks for misc repairs. When we picked it up, the battery was almost dead ( it was sitting on the back lot) but had enough power to raise the front jacks. Got home and hooked up to power, leveled the camper. Several days later, went to extend the slides, and there is...

Has anyone had a clicking noise coming from the hydraulic landing ram. Mine just clicks every few minutes like a valve opening our closing. The trailer stays up but I'm concerned that it might be a warning sound. Thanks for any help you can give

My hydraulic jacks have a chirping or clicking noise when I just slightly move in the RV and sometimes the noise sounds whenever it feels like. From prior threads on this topic, I understand it is caused by air in the lines. I also heard that the air can be removed by keeping the hydraulic...

Hi. My name is Judy. I recently purchased a Forest River Tsunami. Everything worked fine at the dealers. I'm on my first camping trip and cannot get the hydraulic jacks to come down to stabilize the unit. Help.:confused:

I saw in the owners manual that it is suggested to change the hydraulic fluid every 3 yrs. Is there a port to drain the fluid??? Cant seem to find any info on it. Thx

I am the new owner of a 2008 Wildcat 5'r with hydraulic landing gear. My question is: Is there any safeguard in this system to prevent the gear from retracting in the event of a hydraulic failure. Im thinking like a hydraulic jack under a vehicle. Id never work under a vehicle supported by...

Found out in addition to the 50 Amp circuit breaker, that there is a 15 Amp fuse in the pump/fluid tank area of a 2009 350TS that will shut the whole system down if it blows or comes loose. Thought I would pass along the info in case you may experience the problem I had last week.

I noticed something odd this past weekend while out camping and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this. I have the hydraulic landing gear on our 5er and this weekend I was in a position where I had to drop the front of the trailer to get it level after unhooking. The problem was that...

Hello, New to the Forum. We have a 2013 293REX. We love the floor plan of this model. Last week we took out 5th wheel out and went over the Cascades. When we got to camp and parked it, there was Hydraulic Fluid puddling up behind the rear left tire of the 5th wheel. We were able to get...

Hey everyone, I have an issue and want to know if anyone else has the same issue ? We have a 2014 Cedar Creek Silver back 29RE. For the second time now the hydraulic pump motor is leaking fluid. First time happened after a local trip in April, the dealer replaced the unit. This second time we...

Have any of the Trilogy Owners had any experience in manually adjusting just one hydraulic jack? As you can see in my picture, my front roadside jack is over two inches lower than curbside and cannot be corrected via the electronic system. Also attached is the diagram from Lippert’s site. Any...

Has anyone out there ever had a automatic hydraulic leveling system installed on a 5th wheel. Our 5th wheel now has front hydraulic legs on it but I would really like to add mid and rear hydraulic legs with the automatic set up system if that's possible.

We have a 2012 Georgetown 360 and are trying to find out how to check the hydraulic level for the slides and landing gear. Can somebody tell us where it's located? Thanks

Last week I mentioned that one of my LR slides came in quite sluggishly. I thought it was low house batts. BTW, I assume that everyone's kitchen slide looks like it's going pitch over and fall when it starts moving; quite unnerving the first couple of time I ran it in. Anyhow, I now find that...

I have a Sterling Wildcat 32RL 5th wheel. I have been asking techs with no real success. Where should the fluid level be when slides and jacks are all retracted? Sorry for the out of focus picture. The picture shows level when all jacks are down and slides extended.

There are 3 screws on the door closer bracket that is mounted to the door. Two of those screws appear to be in sheet metal only while the middle one is in the heavier door frame metal. As would be expected, the two in the sheet metal have stripped out. Does anyone know of an easy repair to keep...

OK; I have a 2003 Georgetown 325 and am wondering where they have put the hydraulic reservoir in it . I wanted to check fluid levels and couldn't find the reservoir. Any suggestions?

On my 376BHOK the front landing gear make a creaking or popping noise if you walk around in the trailer. Ever seen this before? I wonder if there is air in the system.
