Levelup footpad problem

For those of you with the Lippert levelup sustem you need to check the bolts holding the foot pads on when you have the trailer hooked up. I did not know they were bolted on until I lost one the other day. They apparently do not have lock washers and can come loose. Dumb me assumed they were riveted on since I was not told to check the bolts ( I will now). Lippert caries replacements but it is a pain.

Thanks Ralph! Are you referring to the larger round one used on the new style 14,000# front hydraulics?

I've noticed that my front doorside needs to be tightened periodically.

They pad needs be be able to move so it sits flat on the ground. That movement will cause them to loosen up over time.
Probably the reason o-rings are used - to slow the process of losing bolt torque over time.
