FRONT LEVELER LEAKING

[Chuck Wheeler]

For what it is worth, I had one jack start leaking while we were in Nebraska two years ago.  A local outfit that repairs tractor hydraulics rebuilt the jack for me.  Parts were $19 and labor was $55.  No problems since.

Gary, I've not been able to find that on their website. United RV told me
there are refurbished jacks available too, but I didn't get a price on that
either. Might be worth a phone call if someone is patient enough to wait for
the return call. I understand they understaffed and are backed up, and that
it sometimes takes days to get a return call.
