Bed Hydraulic Hose Failure

FYI: Last weekend at our rally 2 Suites had their bed hydraulic hoses fail. According to the owners the hoses that lift the head of the bed were routed so they rubbed on something and cut them. If you have that option you may want to check your hose routing.

Hmmm.you mean that bed-lift mechanism isn't a basic motor driven screw-drive?
I had no idea I had hydraulics under the bed!

I guess I'm in there when I get to my next parking spot...

Rick: Have seen the results of this failure on hydraulicly equipped units with the 2800psi pump. To say red hydraulic oil clashes with the basic earth tones of the bedroom carpeting would be an understatement. :P That pump moves a lot of fluid whrn the flow is unrestricted!

We can have water leaks, gas leaks, and air leaks, but sure is nice to know we don't have to worry about that hydraulic stuff all over the place.
Something to be said about having a older MS.

Hobo, mine is only 110 units newer than yours...I can't say that it's been a lemon though.
It has never recorded a visit to a deal for warranty though....not to my knowledge.
So, guess they are not all made on a Friday night...

Yeah, mine has the electric lift too. I think they went all hydraulic when they added the hydraulic stabilizers.
