New motor home blues…

Yet another issue reared its ugly head today on our 2022 Allegro Open Road. Arrived at the in laws and started the Lippert leveling jack system. Rear jacks grounded and when the front ones engaged I heard a load hiss and a puff of smoke emanated from the front end. I jumped out to find hydraulic fluid dripping from underneath the coach. It was getting dark so I will investigate in the morning but it seems a hydraulic line failed. Of course it’s a weekend so I’m likely screwed until Monday. Sigh…..

    I will have to say that during the last two weeks when the control unit is on we get random lights lit (mostly right and rear) although the screen says all jacks up. We have also experienced, while stationary and leveled, intermittent sounds from what I assumed were the jacks experiencing some creep like a minor loss of pressure. Sometimes front, sometimes rear. Not sure if this is normal or a precursor to what occurred.

    That's the root of the problem.

    Yes. Levelers worked fine up to this point. Can’t get any service here in the Columbia, SC area either than Camping World but they are 7-10 out to just look at it. So, we are headed back to Florida to take it to the dealership on Monday morning.

    Curious if all these issues you are having are a result of COVID workforce and supply issues or Thor's recent acquisition of Tiffin - or both. We may never know and doesn't solve any of your problems. I am sorry to see you go through this, hopefully a fitting or hose popped off and it's nothing major. Did your levelers work before without issue?
