On the Power Gear jacks: I took my RV into my mechanic and while it was there discussed my experience with my jacks. They informed me that the jacks are in fact too small for the weight of the coach (only rated for 5,000lbs ea). So, when trying to level side to side (which is done by only one jack...left rear or right rear respectively) the jacks do not have enough power to lift the RV more than a little bit. Seems like the Power Gear jacks on the 2004 PA are more for stabalizing and not leveling. Frustrating as most camping I do is not on level ground. If anyone has any solutions or if anyone has replaced/upgraded their jacks on a 2004 PA I would love to hear what you did and/or your experience.
Seperate point on UltraPower upgrade: I have read all of the posts and am considering this for mine. For those of you that have had the upgrade for over a year now are you still happy with it, did you see any additional strain or wear on the coach/engine/transmission? For those of you with it in California - what is the deal with the upgrade relative to CA emission standards...does it still qualify for SMOG?
