Any recomended mobile rv repair that can repair or replace the front landing jacks on a 5er, within wdw wilderness cg. I broke the verticle threaded shaft in one side. Atwood and obsolete so it probably will take a new set. Must be done on site.

Thanks

Camping World is nearby Fort Wilderness / WDW.
Besides the other two suggestions you could check there.
10 years or so ago had to go there one morning to get a new AC unit and popped it in myself.

Buddy of mine did that same thing in the same place. We ended up on big scissor jacks and jack stands for the trip and had the legs fixed at home.

Big Bottle jack, giant jack stands under the frame of the fiver. Worked great. Google Harbor freight...I think there is one 30-40 minutes away from you.

Are you sure it's not just the cross bar that feeds power from the motor to the other side? A super common failure is the bolt in the cross bar. It's actually a planned failure point. I carry spare bolts just in case.

I was looking on etrailer recently and seem to remember you could buy an entire setup - jacks, motor and hardware for a few hundred dollars so hopefully this won't cost a fortune if you do need some/all of the parts replaced.

Sorry, I don't know of anyone in that area.


No. It appears that the bearing holding the verticle shaft(the acme threaded rod) failed and allowed the shaft to rub on the housing. Wore enough to weaken the shaft and it sheared off. I have the driven bevel gear in my hand witk a piece of shaft. I wish you were right.
