Hydraulic slides and leveling
Been looking at new trailers and have a question about the hydraulic systems used... The salesman (that does NOT carry those) tells me that they are no good... if your hydraulic unit stops there is ...

Oh man - slides and a 6 pt leveling system is near BLISS! Tell the salesman if it the slides wont come in or the jacks raise - then vacation is still ON!
Realistically, there is a provision as said above to operate the pump with the drill. If its a hydraulic hose failure, its a little more complicated but ultimately with an open line everything gets pushed in manually, including the jacks. Then you have a bit of work ahead to get the system filled and bled to start using again.
There are tons of issues that leave these grounded - shackle issues, brake issues, awnings won't retract, frames break, etc. Don't let that salesman double talk you- get the rig you want and sit back and enjoy. Two things I love to watch over and over while I enjoy an iced refreshment is the Travler automatic satellite dish and the 6 pt leveling system! It makes camping, camping :)!!
