    A few weeks ago we were all setup camped at Zion National Park when we notice a strange clunking noise as we moved about the fifth wheel. Along with the clunking it also seemed to be wiggling around a lot in the front end. I headed out and tracked the noise and excess movement to the front power landing jacks. Hmm, weird they had never done that before. I opened up the front storage area and scoped out the mechanics of them. Everything appeared to be OK so I tried to lower them a bit. BAM! Clunk Clunk BAM! Anne and I quickly looked at each other. Crap! That wasn’t a good sound!…….

    Hay Ray, “Macgyver” has nothing on us fulltimers!ha!ha! Plenty times before things have been fixed with bailing (tie) wire,duct tape,and assorted nuts & bolts-ect. Sometimes you have to just do it. Good fix on the jack,most likely better than brand new fractory issue. Thanks for the video!

    Thanks Eddie, it actually works really well. I wasn’t sure drilling if I may mess up a gear or lever inside but I had nothing to lose at that point.
