Landing gear hard to raise under load
Hello, I'm new to RVing and don't know what to expect from landing gears and I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with mine. I know electrically there is a problem that seems to be with the motor, it...

I had a similar issue and was ready to purchase a dual motor setup. Then I read a post describing the process to lubricate the worm gears in the legs. I drilled a 3/8" hole in each leg (taking care not to contact the worm gear with the drill bit). Then I sprayed lithium grease inside the tubes while running the legs up and down (no load with trailer on truck). It still makes a bit of noise under stress but lifts the trailer without breaking a sweat or the sacrificial bolt on the follow (non-motorized) leg. I just use some electrical tape to cover the hole to keep dust out. You can also lube the bevel gears at the top of the legs but mine were already sufficiently lubed. Just pop off the caps from tops of the legs to gain access to the bevel gears to check them.
