    Landing gear lowers over time

    Thank you for the info. I can tie up various jacks on my trailer with tie-down straps and the problem moves around. If it was a specific jack, I don't think that would be happening. So just to get my terminology straight... I assume the Hydac valve is mounted in the hydraulic manifold...

    Uhggg... I think I have a frame issue.

    We have absolutely loved our 2015 Big Country 3650RL. We have traveled all over the United States with it. I would estimate in the past 8 years it has been towed approximately 40,000 miles. It is well maintained and taken care of, etc. and is our 3rd RV trailer and we absolutely love it. We...

    Landing gear lowers over time

    So I continue to struggle with my leaking jacks on my Big Country. A few weeks ago, I emailed the team at Lippert the following information: The response I got from Lippert is below: My question is how do I check that the valves are closing properly? Thanks.

    Landing gear lowers over time

    This is really good information, I need to re-read it and make sure I am consuming it properly. I am pretty good with mechanical items but I am not very experienced with hydraulics.... Thank you!

    Landing gear lowers over time

    You, how that is a really good point. Never changed it. I assume you just pulled all the jacks and slides in so the reservoir is full, then sucked it out all out with with a fluid pump. That is an easy task that I should do first. What type of fluid is the best to replace it with? Thanks!

    Landing gear lowers over time

    Uhggg... I have same problem. So I have a 2015 Heartland Big Country 3450RL. So my issue where I need a little advice is that two of my 6 hydraulic leveling jacks leak down while in storage. So I parked my RV from my last trip in early May with the back four jack retraced and only the front...

    Inspect your shore power cord periodically....

    So I finally got around to fixing my power cords (extension cord & main power cord). Two $16.00 parts from Amazon easily took care of the problem. Amazon Part: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DVZFBPM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Inspect your shore power cord periodically....

    Just a public service announcement.... inspect your shore power cord - specifically the male connectors - periodically. While we were on vacation, I encountered an issue with my 50 amp RV power cord. So all was well when we were in Angel Fire, NM. But when we arrived in Durango, CO and I...

    Level-Up Jacks dropped during storage

    Well I did some investigation over the weekend and the issue is leaking of the hydraulic lines around the fittings where the line goes into the press-clamp before the metal fitting. All the fittings themselves are tightly screwed onto the manifold. The leak is very minor but it is there on...

    Level-Up Jacks dropped during storage

    I have a 2015 Big Country 3650RL with the 6 point Level-Up system. About 3 years ago my jacks started leaking so over the span of about 21 months, I ended up replacing all 6 jacks. (I am not impressed with the quality of these components....). Anyway, all has been good since all the jacks...
