I've had these jacks on an Alaskan for 25 years...loading takes about 15-20 minutes and they're mounted on the corners....my photo has them mounted, raised and stored in their loops Alaskans cant use the vertically mounted jacks because the top rises with hydraulics ..the brackets for the...

Ride rites for 12 years....the passenger side leaks if I don't load it up over 60 pounds...I've put up with it....but it still drives me a little crazy...I'm toying with an onboard compressor..at this point anything to make life a little easier...on the way to fishing :D

There is a question for Brian at the factory if I've ever seen one the older campers...70's...the wire was merely a piece of 12 ga. wire in the lanyard.....it was just carrying the 12v currrent to the lights...no load to speak of....except the refer...which drained the truck battery in a...

Welcome to the group...vineyardseashell...don't forget the pictures of the new rig..when you get it...congratulations

most of the older ones don't have valves....and...when set properly the valves don't have to be fooled with at all .....assisting the lowering is a little something that goes along with the camper...I use the entry assist handle...a little push or pull and voila installing valves would probably...

sequence for o-ring replacement...... fold a paper towel to a band about 1-1 1/2" wide...then carefully and securely wrap the paper towel around the lower tube just below the nut...this will absorb and hydraulic fluid you may (will) lose in this process with the top up and pinned in its...

come on......pictures please....when you get the hydraulics to work ;) if the lino is that good......there's no telling what the rest looks like.... if the cylinders are leaking that bad...you may need help to lift the top...don't try it yourself.... actually 4 or 5 people make it work...

The guides really don't need a lube coating...they should be free to shift and move slightly and merely "guide" the direction of the top. That being said...if you must...a light coating of a beeswax/turpentine paste and buffed off will give you a lasting polish and not attract dust and debris...

holes?....reminds me of a movie ;) out of the top of the cylinders?....holes in the copper lines?...holes in the fittings?....o-ring failure? standard pump to many...but not many have as clean a linoleum base...and original lino :D

did you fill the system with the top up?....that would overfill the system significantly

Many of the older Alaskans do not have the valves at the base of the cylinders used for balancing the pressure...and many have seen alot of use...the hydraulics will have minor issues when they get older...debris or air in the system, failing o-rings etc...nothing that can't be taken care of...

arghhh....the anticipation is overwhelming now ;)
