Teton 5th Wheel

Question

Hi everybodyThis is hard to explain. Sorry for my ramblings The front landing gear (hydraulic) is completely retractedFor some unknown reason the front slide came in whichmoved the ram under the bed causing a break in the hydraulichose fitting. This caused a hydraulic leak Not good for the carpet..That will have to be fixed before any help could beexpected from the landing gear. In the meantime raising the frontand cribbingunder the pin box maybe in order. My front end is on the groundWould be almost impossible to get hydraulic jacks under the frameAny advice so appreciatedPS. We do not have a truckThank you. LowellLowell R is online now Report Post

Without knowing the year of your rig it'd be hard for people to give much advice. But my experience with some 5th wheels is that there is usually a manual back up that would raise or lower your landing gear. I would look for that in your owners manual if you still have it. You may be able to call a mobile mechanic too as well if you have to.

Heavy equipment mechanics carry hydraulic hose and fittings. To raise the 5'er, you'll need a 2 ton jack and a **** load of cribbing...or, if you are lucky, a loader or excavator.

Hi againK9jadonIt is a 2007 Teton Front Royal Teton  manual no help on hydraulic issues. Lippert no help either. They have no knowledge  of Teton Never heard of the brand. No override possible till hydraulic leak fixed.  JDC:  I am thinking of jacking this heavyweight off it's knees.Problem  getting  under towards the front as it's down to low.I can see and have access  to the frame 3 feet in front of the tiresDo you think it would lift the front ok BTW Lippert made the ground control for it  It an older  system has a 15 foot pendent It can control all 4 hydraulic jacks independently Lowell

I helped a guy once when his one side jack failed and the front of the 5th wheel trailer nosed down. I used a 4x4 on a 5 ton floor jack and put that 4x4 right at the pin and pushed up allowing the nose to lift so we could get some other boards under the front frame work near that failed jack. He was able to then dig a hole under that failed jack to remove it and get it rebuilt. Where in Arizona are you?
