Open Roads Forum  >  Fifth-Wheels  > Bent My Landing Gear - anyone else? This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 3   Next rookey • View posts Folsom, CA Full Member Joined: 09/29/2005 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 03/10/10 09:03pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I feel like a real dumb a$$. Went through my hookup routine, pulled out of storage and I hear a bang going over the driveway bump. Some nice people on the road mention the passenger-side landing gear is down. I look and it's bent back. Evidently I put one side up and not the other. Finally get it all dis-assembled and find the outer sleeve is bent, and the inner sliding adjustable sleeve is OK. Has anyone ever replaced just one leg? I can't seem to find any replacement parts. I also can't find the manufacturer other than "Made in China". It's on a Jayco and I assume it's Atwood. I got the part number on the motor and don't get any hits on that. From what I see on the Internet, they all look like the complete assembly (two legs and cross bar) need to be purchased. I haven't talked with an RV repair facility yet. Appreciate any information you might have for this dummy. Thanks a lot. 2009 Jayco Eagle Super Lite 30.5 DBSA 2006 2500HD Silverado D/A, crew cab 4x4, Pullrite SuperGlide Sold: 2008 Sundance 2900MK bldrbuck • View posts one or the other Senior Member Joined: 02/11/2001 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 03/10/10 09:14pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I had a simuliar problem and had to replace both legs. I could not find anyplace that would sell only one. I have come up with some lists of used RV parts dealers.

When one of my legs would not work NuWa service had the parts I needed and gave me some pointers on changing the leg out.

Son's job was to walk the dog. Paid, pulled away, and someone hollered "You have a leg down!!" Parking lot was flat, no damage done. Son had dropped landing leg down to tie dog's leash to it; thankfully he remembered to unleash the dog before we left, although not to raise landing leg. I look under trailer each and every time I pull off for obstructions of any sort. Almost always, as long as I remember to... Stuff happens.

I use a mental check list that includes 2 walk-arounds prior to pulling away with the camper. Both walk arounds include checking windows, awning, doors, spare, tank valves, visual tire inspection and under the camper checks.

I took it to Camping world to have mine fixed. They got the parts direct from Jayco.Had to replace the entire jack though. The bolts holding the pin came loose and fell off allowing the leg to drop right before a speed bump..

Lesson learned. I have a mental checklist as well, but if anything interrupts (dogs, kids, DW) during that check, that's where I get into trouble. I guess I should just start over when that happens.
