Gun Fire at the Park

[rxbristol]

We're currently staying at a mobile home park, in our RV, and a neighbor called us in the morning asking if we had heard the gun fire last night. What the neighbor heard was the popping of our Lippert leveling jacks. It was 92 degrees yesterday and a cold front dropped it down into the 30's with a 30 mph north wind. Even though I've used the CAT oil and have large leveling blocks to reduce movement, large temperature swings will still cause the stiction action, plus it doesn't help that we've been stationary for a few months. My wife and I had a good laugh.

I've never hear this popping before. Are we talking the sound of a 22 or 9mm or 40 cal?

Maybe a 22 short into a pillow.

Ours pops from time to time. Just part of owning the system.

Mine hardly ever pop .... but they did start popping last week in the night. I simply went outside, hit the auto level button again ... they did a quick update releveling and VOILA ... popping was gone and hasn't returned.

5"/54 Mk 45, or it isn't real!

OH my! I don't think ours is as loud.

But at the Sweetheart Rally we did hear gunfire nearby. This is in rural central Texas, I didn't think much about it.

Our level up pops, more like a creak, occasionally. I notice it during the night with wide temperature swings, 80s down to the 40s for example.
Don't know what it sounds like if outside.
I've heard shooting here while in TX. You're liable to hear some back in PA too depending where near

There are a lot of gun ranges and train tracks in Texas, most are close to RV parks.

You sound like a Swabbie, that's what we had on the DDG I was on.

Snap Pads act like a silencer!

I've heard that, but I've also read they did not make any difference. I have a set that I won at a rally...I guess I need to get off my duff and install them to give it a try...nothing to lose.

Five and a half years as a SWO, then 20 in Info Dominance fields.

The Snap Pads did not help with the popping on our rig. Just added one quart of the CAT fluid a few weeks ago. We notice the popping mostly at night, probably the temperature swing. Hopefully the CAT fluid will help. BTW, for those going to Canyonville for the regional rally in September, there is a gun range close enough to constantly hear gunfire during the day. I would imagine that September will be especially active with hunting season starting that month.

Don't think they make a difference. Have snap pads and they popped a few times the other night until I hit the Auto Level again and they disappeared.
