Landing gear problem

I purchased my 2011 AF 27-5 used. Yesterday, I returned from short trip and parked it in my driveway which has a downslope. As a result, I have to extend the legs quite far to get it level to open the slides - even after placing 4" blocks under the legs. I have done this several times and it has always made it to level. This time, I heard a click and everything quit. A few seconds later, another click and it was alive again. I concluded that the motor was overheated (thermal breaker) so I waited a few hours to try again. After waiting, it started slowly like it was really straining. Then, POW, something broke loose and it motored right up to level. What I didn't notice at the time was that only the driver side jack was extending. When I later realized the other jack was dangling in the air, I lowered it until the weight rested on both jacks. That's where it now sits.

My old trailer had a pin or bolt in the landing gear that engaged the opposite side jack and I had that break or fall out once. Does this one have something similar? I haven't had a chance to really dig into this yet - hoping someone else has faced this before and can tell what to do and how to get to it. If it isn't this, then some troubleshooting advice would be welcome.

I am glad you found your problem, but I wanted to let you know that I have the same situation regarding parking. I have had no problems with my landing gear yet, and I have been doing it for several years, but my 27-5L is lighter than yours.
