that camper was a brand new purchase at  Coos bay I  then went straight  to Alaska for 2 full  months in   Nov, Dec,Jan. returned to NY across Canada  I year later the Jack's were like that !!!!!!  I live in the foothills of the ADK mts and we get a fairly large number of snow storms   BUT   this was caused by  poor to non existent quality control which is the norm for Crapi Hapi jack, that was then and it appears nothing really has changed, when it concerns quality /quality control  they find ways to cheapen mfg costs while charging the end customer more !!!!!  Thet were repaired by Bigfoot not Crapi Jack non existent customer support
 ps I have a pile of worthless Crappies in my cellar  left from earlier replacements , 4new  spare motors also have many  pix of hj I cut apart to examine causes of jams & problems ect
I wonder how long it sat at that coastal town’s dealer lot?  Salt water air is horrible on equipment.
What year was that?  When 3 of our 2007 jacks lost flakes of paint about a year later, I naively waited until our 2 year camper warranty was almost up.  Even though my HJ’s were passed their 1 year warranty, HJ retubed all 3 and all I paid one shipping to them.  They told me they had a run of bad prep resulting in failed paint during the time ours were built.
10 years later and still no issues with all 4, paint or mechanical.
