IN the end of the drive unit is a seal, if you remove that you can insert an allen wrench with your drive and make it work. You will find the opening (it is in this location in our Landmark) inside the off door side of the storage area, shopuld be a hole and or an access panel.

Is it the same pump that drives the slides?

Not so sure about a leak. I would think that there would be check valve in the system so it wouldn't come crashing to the ground, but I haven't looked or seen one.

I had a hydraulic leak and ran out of fluid while on the front jacks. Nothing happened until I tried to raise the jacks to hook up. Then I got nothing. I refilled the reservoir and it worked fine. I now carry Motorcraft ATF (the type it is supposed to use) just in case. In my previous event I had to borrow some from another RVer who was kind enough to help.

Jim is correct, any ATF will work if you are in a bind. Full synthetic is recommended so I use Mercon V, same as the Ford Transmissions take.

I should have said that is what I carry now. 5 quarts of Mercon V. Just to be safe.

The hydraulic hose in the bedroom under the bed sprang a leak. It was a pin hole leak in the weld just below where the hose attached to the piston. Lippert sent us a new hose and reimbursed us for the labor I paid to get it put on. They told me if I put it on myself it would void the warranty and they would pay 3/4 hour labor to put it on. I went to an independent RV repair shop and they put it on for 3/4 hour labor $75. Then Lippert reimbursed us.

Didn't camp there but have been there when our son was stationed there in the Army. Spent 2 weeks there with him and explored all over Ohau. Saw several campgrounds but didn't camp. The states on my map are states we have been to. Didn't have Japan, Mexico, Granada, Dominica, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas but have been there. (just not with the RV - but have tent camped on the beach in Japan)
