Not sure if this is the right forum, but it is electrical related. I've got (2) 6V golf cart batteries (Trojan T105) and they do a great job. I haven't done any hardcore boondocking, but have a concern on the current draw for running the hydraulic pump for leveling and/or slides. Typical draw is...

Our slide out has not been working so we have been attaching a battery charger to the pump to open and close the slide outs that way. Last fall the "in & out" switch broke off so now we can't use it. We had to close it manually, which was very difficult. Where can I buy a new "in & out"...

Need a little help, 2018 Legacy 340BH. This last weekend it took hitting the retract all button 3 times for my levelers to come all the way up, lights were good but visually I could see they were not fully retracted. I wanted to check my fluid level but not sure where or how. Is the reservoir...

Anyone have any luck getting forest river or lippert to pick up the cost of replacing leaking hoses .You would expect hoses to last longer than 4 years.At least pick up parts as a goodwill gesture.

Today I went to open up the rig, plugged in the ext. Cord like I always do went in to the control panel and held the slide out button and it went fine till the last slide (the kitchen slide) it went out then stopped I left the button go and pressed it again and it worked for about 5 seconds I...

I have a 2003 Cardinal 34 lx. It’s a fixer upper I just got. It has 3 slides. I need to replace 2 of the 3 twist shut off valves that control the slides on the pump. I don’t know what they are called to look them up and can’t find them. Here is a pic. Thanks for the help.

Was up under the m/h to run wiring for a secondary backup camera last weekend and noticed a thin, greasy film covering a couple of the orange hydraulic leveler hoses, and what looks like the start of a bubble on the outer "skin" of one of them. It was probably leaking during the warranty (now...

I have a 2005 Tsunami with airbag HWH leveling. This works fine for self-leveling, however, the rig tends to move when we walk around. Has anyone ever added hydraulic jacks to supplement the airbags?

Hi. Will be picking up our 36ds in a month. A couple of questions. 1) will the jacks lift the rear end off the ground in order to change the rear wheels? 2) is there a separate fuel tank for the generator? I'll have lots more questions, but from lurking on this site I've learned lots already.

We bought our 3010 DS Sunseeker new in March 2019 and so this is the first long term stay in the sunny South (Arizona). If we are going to stay put for over two months should I be exercising the hydraulic levellers a few times just to work them. Also is a silicone based lube spray OK to wipe on...

I have a 2019 Sunseeker 3020 DS and was wondering where the hydraulic pump and reservoir is for the levelling system and slide outs.

I have a 2018 Isata 5 36, that only has a couple of months left on warranty. Unfortunately I recently had knee replacement surgery and will require a second one in a couple of months so getting my coach into the dealership before my warranty expires will be almost impossible. I have discovered a...

Hello everyone, I have too many bad lucks with my hydraulic system. I bought the coach new, on my first trip 120 miles from home, when ready to check out and go home, the "Jack Down" lite up and beep all the way home. Make the long story short, I have the valve block, pump, reservoir, the whole...

Tried looking for answers in the forums but didn't find any, so please forgive me if you've seen this before. I live in the Northeast. The rig is winterized and I usually go out and run the engine and generator for 20 minutes every other week during the winter, just to keep the fluids...

Have a2013 Georgetown my hydraulic reservoir is low and the motor is making a bad sounds when I open slides and level, problem is it takes Dexron 111 ATF to fill and they don’t make that anymore new one is Dexron 6 which is synthetic can I still use that with what is in there? Help I’m broke...

This post is attended for DRV owners. When rebuilding my front jacks, we noticed that the lower jam nuts were loose, all 4 of them on the solenoid. This could cause a higher draw of voltage and may even damage the solenoid over time. Even though the upper jam nut was snug, I could grab a...

We just bought a new 2020 Cedar Creek 38DBRK. Always had electric motor slides but this on has hydraulic slides. I know they are way faster then the electric one's but how reliable are they?

I have a Coachman Encounter 2013, one of the Lippert jacks was leaking. Had it replaced for $1,200 Can the leaky one be repaired? Has anyone repaired their levels?

I am having an odd problem with our 2013 36RE. Everything was working fine a week ago. We just returned from a week-long non-RV trip. When we got home today, I tried to put the slide out and they would not move. More testing showed that the ODS and front jacks work fine and the pump sounds...

A bit of a mess on my hands. Servicing the hydraulic system and doing a purge on it I noted in the service manual under system purge item #3 Find the hydraulic pump location and note the amount of fluid currently in the reservoir. The fluid level should be about 1/4” from the top of the...

We have a 2014 Cedar Creek 34rls. We were getting ready to hook up and when pushing the slide button, the front jacks retraced and the slides stayed opened. Trying to contact a mobile repair, but in the meantime any thoughts/advice?

After all this time we suddenly have problems with the leveling system. The keypad will not turn on. Have gone through the LCI manuals on it and it really doesn’t fit their trouble shooting guide. When I turn the key on the key pad will illuminate the left right front rear and LCI emblem then it...

Can anyone tell me where the hydraulic manifold is located in a 2818 Riverstone 39FK? My dealer doesn't know and I've been having a grinding noise in the front when I open the slides and the jacks retracted when I brought in the bedroom slide.

Well, we've had the GT5 for two months and taken three trips so technically it's no longer "brand new". :) Tonight I noticed some spots on my new concrete driveway extension. I got underneath and it was oily. I looked up and saw that the bottom of the house battery/leveling jack hydraulic...

We bought a Forester 2441 (27') DS 2020 this spring and we added the option "hydraulic jack" when we ordered it to facilitate our stays, in and out! From mid-May to now, it's the third time we go to our seller for some issues on those jacks but this time, for us, it's the most dangerous one...
