Landing gear failure
We took out some trees to make more room for a shop and rv cover but when I went to move the thing the legs started acting funny, finally got it on the truck and into the driveway but the driver's side leg would not hold weight so pulled out the jack stands and floor jack to free the truck.
Took it to the shop and they say the leg failed and it will be close to $900 to fix, the part is supposed to be about $200.
This is a 2010 unit so not that old but, I found a small bolt that was bent laying below the motor, tried reading about the rebuild but decided it was more than I wanted to deal with.
They had to remove the propane rack and there's a thin wall in front of the motor so lots of work just getting to the problem and when they had to pull the tube it needed to be raised fairly high in order to remove.
My truck is pretty high as far as the bed goes and I always use blocks to use less travel on the legs so I guess I need to pay real close attention to how I'm operating these but anyone else have these issues on a 7-8 year old rig?
