Front Jacks

[pokerloser]

Is there something special I should be using to lubricate the front jacks? I heard WD40 is not good, but wanted to see what others are using. Thanks

A dry silicon lube works well

The front landing gear have Zerk fittings on either side on the Reflection fifth wheels. They're inside the front compartment and you'll need a grease gun with a flex tube fitting to get to them. I do mine regularly.

So it doesnt do any good to lube the outside of the lowering jacks on the front? Also, should I lube the rear jacks when they are down as well?

I think it is probably helpful to spray some silicone lube on them as L.C. said. The real stress/friction points are the gears in the top of the towers. I think there are two Zerk fittings on each side, if I recall.

Jeremy - keeping clean and using silicone as suggested by LC & (the other) Rob is what your Owners Manual states on page 81 as well: Here is the link to GDRV Owners Manual page: https://www.granddesignrv.com/owner-...owners-manuals

3. Remove dirt and road debris from jacks as needed.
4. If jacks are down for extended periods, it is recommended
to spray exposed leveling jack rods with a
silicone lubricant every three months for protection. If
the trailer is located in a salty environment, it is recommended
to spray the rods every 4-6 weeks.

Did you find them? I just looked on my 303 and can’t.

No, I can’t find any zeros on my landing gear. 2018 27RL

Our Reflection was a 2016 built before they made auto-leveling standard. It had Ground Control 2.0 and the Ground Control 3.0 may be different since they have a motor on each leg.
