My hydraulic landing gear is lame

Well our second trip out with our new Augusta and went to spot it at the campground and one leg would not come down. I tried raising and lowering but no results. I finally got my wife to hold the switch while I pulled the leg down. That worked but then I had to shore up the trailer frame in case the leg did not hold any weight when I pulled the truck out. The leg held and three days later (today) when we are leaving the leg will not come up. Again had my wife hold the switch while I now lifted the lame leg. Again that worked but unhooking my trailer is now a two person job for sure. Any ideas out there as to why this may be hampening.
thanks,
Gerry:confused:

You are under warranty so I would call your dealer first thing tomorrow morning. Until then the first thing is check your hydraulic valve block and make sure all the nobs are turned clockwise. Next I would check all hydraulic connections for leaks. This sounds like the same problem I had and it ended up being an internal leak (bad bushing) in the jack itself. I had to have my whole jack replaced.
