Front jack failure

When trying to raise the trailer to disconnect on Monday, I had a major gusher of fluid come out the LH LG leg. Would not raise or hold trailer up. Slides went wonky with air in all the lines.

It appeared to be a blown ram. Thats also what the dealer thought, took it in and they found line in behind the wall of the battery compartment between it and the outer wall right near the leg had a nick in it from where they had drilled for a clamp or something at the factory in 2005!! Finally let go!! It was hidden from sight until a hole was made in the wall.

Line repaired and metal plate cover installed. Need to completely replace the line later.

So, if you get a major leak around that area, don't assume like I did that it's a Ram! :shock: Give it a closer look.
