Noisy Leveling Jacks on a 6 Jack System - 2019 Solitude 310GK
Two weeks ago I purchased a 2019 Solitude 310GK rig from a private seller. One of the observations the seller let me know of, was that the jacks would make a noise from time to time. The noise would be heard when you moved the jacks in a move and set up. The noises continued to be heard as a popping and creaking sound even when the rig was set up without any movement in the rig. You could be sat out side and hear the sounds. To solve the problem I went to 'You Tube' and I came across two independant video's. These video's claimed to cure the problem.
What was needed, was that you had to siphon (purchased Harbor Freight Jiggle Siphon Pump $9) 32 ounces of the existing hydraulic fluid out of the reservoir in the front basement. After the removal of the existing fluid you replaced it with 32 ounces of CATERPILLAR HYDRAULIC OIL ADDITIVE U1-9891 ($31). You then lifted the jacks up and down plus moved the slide outs in and out multiple times. (I did this operation with the RV hooked up to my truck).
It worked!.....I have had no further noises.....I thought I would pass this on.....
Oh.....this is the best fifth wheel I have ever owned....
