I'm with you on the sick campers.
I'm going either NL or Bigfoot.
I believe that Bigfoot is using the same jack ?
I have been doing a little research online and it seems that at least some of the issues come from bottoming out the jacks at either end of travel, Damaging the drive. I also see some controller issues.
Perhaps Happijac should run end of travel cushions or limit switches.
I'm just going on what I have read. I might be all wet.
Once I get the camper ,if I ever do, I plan to carefully (using the manual drive) find the end of travel, back off a bit and paint a stripe around the jack extension. I will also paint a yellow warning stripe to let me know when I'm getting close.
If this jack problem continues, eventually NL will have to address it.
HappiJac better get on it also. If they don't no-one will want to have anything to do with them.
Do you know if the Rieco Titan's are any better?
