    Jacks stop intermittently

    2016. 369RL Solitude
    When lowering or raising the jacks, I will hear a click and they stop working. Wait about 5-8 seconds and they work again. Usually happens after about 20 seconds of steady lowering (6 point system) although once it happens, it tends to occur more frequently. It appears to be a relay issue.
    Anyone know the fix?

    There is a known issue with the leveling system on the older models. The circuit breaker for the pump is only 50 amp and is not sufficient to carry the load. It gets weak and trips. Since it's a self-resetting breaker, after a few moments it resets. The fix is to replace the 50 amp breaker with an 80 amp breaker of the same type. GD might even send you one if you ask nicely...

    Yes, it is a common issue specifically on the 2018 models (not sure if others are impacted?). I had the same issue but it also happened with the slides. I bypassed the original breaker with a Bussman 185-80 from Napa Auto. Works great, easy install and cured all my issues with the hydraulic system.

    Good luck!
