We woke up with fluid leaking from drivers side front Jack.  Anyone else have that happen?  Jack still worked yesterday.

Yes I've had that issue and took it to HWH in Moscow, Iowa. They inspected my leveler system and said I had no issues. They said that fluid leakage can happen if the leveler shaft is in the fully extended position. It is not a problem or a bad seal. Just check the fluid level. The tip they gave me was to check the level with a zip tie because it can be easily bent straight downward into the fluid reservoir.

We had one that would leak every time we used it. It had to be replaced. Not an easy job, but not a difficult one either. Just dealing with heavy stuff under the rig.

Hi, we have a 2350 2019 and have had a variety of jack issues.  There appears to be fluid leak from the reservoir cap periodically. I have had to replace a couple of the sensor and solenoids.  Just recently I noticed 2 of the jacks not working and found crimpled wires on the harness which seems from the vehicle motion or bounce.  I am hoping after cutting the wires, reconnecting, and securing the wires will resolve the issue.  We don't have any service options in Maryland so continue trying to perform as much self repair as possible and phone support with Stuarts HMH service.
