anyone have a leaking levelup leg repaired

well, turns out not to be a leg leak, but the oring on one of the control solenoids. guess wen I jacked the trailer up a few weeks ago to get metal stems put in the wheels, I put a lot of pressure on the system and found the weak spot..

$100 for service call, time and 1 oring.. fixed

vacation back as scheduled.
thanks for the guidance..

found a local company for hydraulic repairs, said they have done this quite a few times.

I went out to take the leg off and I think its actually leaking somewhere else.. the hydraulic repair folks are coming to the RV later today.

the local RV shops are 2-6 weeks backlogged.

oh.. Lippert said not to use it until repaired.

I had one repaired at a hyd shop in Wisconsin. It just needed an O-ring on the top end. He pressure tested it to 1500 lbs. and it's been good so far. Cost---$25.00. While at Dripping Springs last winter we found a good mobile tech name of Joe Duff. 830-237-9974

We had one leak at the end of the season last year , what a mess.
Forest River covered it under warranty , it took several weeks , between dealer ,FR. warranty , parts arrival ect. They replaced it with new ,.But
If I needed it quicker ,I would have contacted Lippert ,I'm pretty sure they sell a seal kit for them ,for us do it yourself guys ,

thanks. I was gonna go to Lippert first.. Didn't buy the trailer here, so always fun to get it worked on. How old was your FR unit before the failure?

It was about a year and a half old ,
Lippert hydrolics and a lippert frame , as far as a I know ,

Look in the yellow pages for a hydraulic cylinder repair shop. Usually 2-4 day turnaround.

Bring a couple jack stands along to set it on so you can take the weight off the leg. Get it fixed when you return.
