Landing gear question
So after 10+ years of travel trailer ownership, I took delivery of our first 5th wheel on Saturday. The hitching/unhitching process went pretty smoothly, but I have a question on the landing gear....

With 5vr still hitched
Raise the Inner tubes up fully
Extend the Outer tubes until you hear then click/clack
Retract then 1" and paint a RED Line -----that is the MAX extension you want to do so you do not damage drive nut/shaft/gears
Are you saying that fully extending the outer legs (without any load on them) until they make a noise, will not damage the gears?
YES .....
W/O a LOAD on them they will chatter...stop when they do
THen RETRACT at least 1" and MARK the outer tube.
THen you can Lift under load to that mark W/O reaching full extend and cause damage
