Hydraulic failure on 5th Wheel
I am currently stuck in Gettysburg, PA because the hydraulic system on my 2012 Keystone Montana has failed. I cannot completely extend the slides, nor can I retract them. I cannot retract the leveling jacks. The site is rather unlevel, so I thought that maybe the fluid was drawn down too far. When I checked, lo and behold, it was very low.
I made a run to Walmart and got a quart of ATF, which is what the manual says that the system uses, thinking that there might be a float switch or sensor that cuts out the system if the levels get too low. Adding this has had no effect. When I try to trigger either the jacks or the slide rooms, the motor itself clicks once, but does nothing else. I cannot locate any sort of reset that may need to be triggered.
Has anyone else run into this sort of issue?
