Broke landing gear

One of my landing gear won’t extend. Would roadside assistance cover a tow truck coming to campground to jack up front of camper so I can hookup to get home?

  • IS this a single motor system?
    Which side is not working.....slave side (opposite where motor is) of Drive side (where motor is)?

    Slave side...check if cross tube that connects the 2 sides moves when operating motor.
    YES it does.then check slave side for broken shear bolt (connects cross tube to slave drive)....just replace it with any 1/4 bolt
    NO it does not..then check drive side for broken shear bolt


    Drive side not moving....
    Probably shear pin inside for helix gear/drive assembly
    Have to dissassembly to repair

    Are you in a CG?
    YES....ask for HELP
    Get wood blocks etc and couple jacks
    Lift front of trailer using block cribbing and jacks to hookup to truck


    Good Luck!
