Need a FW w/ failed hydralic system & 6 point sys off truck

Folks-

I am looking for help here. My 2013 Dutchmen Infinity blew a line leading into one of the leveling rams. Now the system cannot even extend the landing gear rams to pick it off the truck. I already had to tow it to an independent store while I was 2,000 miles away on vacation on an overnight stop to get the slides back in but now I'm home, cannot get the CW service manager i had been working with and need the FW off so I can get back to work! Any ideas?

Thanks!

    I would put a HEAVY piece of lumber, like a 6x6, or steel beam is better across the frame rails just behind the landing gear, floor jack to support the weight while you get out from under it, then lower onto the landing gear. Chock the heck out of it before starting.

    Try a couple of cheap floor jacks blocked up to reach the bottom of the landing pads jack each one a little at a time
    Safety block under the front of the frame for luck and it should lift right up
    Good Luck, Mike
