Replacing My Fifth Wheel Landing Jacks Gear Box 

Sir you just saved me a bunch of money! Thank you!

You are very handy, many people would never even thought to change the gear. Great job.

Thank you for your insight. I followed your Mcgiver fix and solved my fuse popping issue. New part is coming, but I'm camping this week! Thanks again!👍

Ray, My wife and I live your videos, demos and Tips & Tricks! We hope to start full-time RVing in a couple years when we can sell the house and buy our fifth wheel rig outright. Thanks for the awesome videos! Take care out there, Mark

Ok that makes sense. The ears on mine broke also but that was because the gear drive failed. Happy camping

You have the BEST videos.

Thanks Ray for the great informational video. About to help a friend in the next few minutes to replace his landing gear, which also came from etrailer. Glad you used etrailer for your parts too, been using them for several years---absolutely great people to work with! Enjoy your camping life.

I admire you taking the time to film all these projects as I would never have the time nor the patience to do so. I would probably also have to edit and bleep myself too many times as well. Cheers!

Thank you sir, salute your handyman.

Thanks Ray for the info . I found a part on mine . Will start looking . Probably have to do some cross checking due to mine is on a 2008 Sunnybrook . It’s a Venture box

Way to go Maguyver

Thanks for the video! My 29' Cardinal has a gear box which started making funny noises and now the motor just spins freely. Now I know how to take it apart after UR video. The gear box here is a Venture, it looks quite similar to yours.

Thx your video on gear box really helped me

Great video Thanks.

Thanks bud, I got stuck replacing this bad boy. Looks like it was stuck on shaft. Thanks for this video. 👍🏼👍🏼

Awesome! Thank you

Yea

Great VID, thanks, we are full timers currently in central Utah. Ordered a box and will be tackling this project next week, wish me luck! Looks pretty simple.

Ahha I love it.Great one....

Add on,With me not being a gearhead, you have no idea how helpful this was as a reference when swapping things out.I needed to go back and look things over a couple of times.

Great info here Ray, thank you very much. Could you do a video on your hitch one day? I caught a glimpse of it and it looked like it has airbags in it...

Hi Ray, loved this and your other videos. I have a Keystone Cougar 276RLS which looks like the same RV you have, so I consider myself double lucky that I found your channel. One thing I'd like to add is something I did wrong - hopefully it may help someone else from making the same mistake. Like you mention in the video, the landing gear motor should be removed by loosening the slotted head screws only - do not remove the bolts that require a hex wrench. I removed all four and the two parts of the motor's casing came undone and the gears fell out. I got the gears (four of them) back together again and they seemed to operate well. I was pretty happy about the whole situation until I tried to fit the two parts of the casing back together again. I can't get them to seal - there is an approximate 1/8" gap. I was wondering if you or your viewers have ever encountered the situation where they could not get the casing to the motor to seal. If so, I would really appreciate the advice. Thanks!

Where did you purchase your replacement Gearbox Ray? Hope to meet up with you and Ann on the Road in 2015. We can learn a lot from you.

Ray I cannot identify which reduction gear box is on my rv. The shaft is 1/2 inch diameter in leg and key shaped going thru reduction box. In your video you swapped gears to make yours work. Any thoughts on what part number or brand is on my camper. Thanks!!

do you have to block up the RV while doing this, or will it stand on the legs?

Well Ray I think my gear box has taken a turn for the worse also . Is there a part # on the gear box so I will get the right one ?

Excellent job, learn a lot from you, did you switch the gears disc? Thanks.

Hi. I replaced the gearbox and greased the gears. The jacks will retract, but fuse pops when I try to raise the camper... ????

Yo dude my shaft is snapped on the inside of the leg if you look a 6.3 that's what I'm talking about any idea how a guy can beat that out?

Ray, my landing gear motor and gear work if no load. But it has started to. Make a clicking noise, rather than lift or turn the jack. Do u think it is just the gear? Motor, gear and jack are a couple years old. Thanks.

My gearbox has some play when I wiggle it. What keeps up tight to the leg? Rob

Hey Ray was that a socket on the old one ?

Is there a over travel safety switch ? If so do u know the location ?

Just ran into the same problem 3 yrs after seeing this video. Atwood bought out by Dometic. Dometic destroyed all the molds or jigs so these parts are no longer available.Options are used parts or replace whole system with Dometic. My understanding is Domestic's bolt patterns are the same.Parts may be online if your lucky.

I did this replacement and was working fine till one day it would go down but wouldn't go up. Has power, would hit the button to go up, and it would try to move the bar, but it couldn't turn it. Replaced the gear box and motor. Idk what the issue is now.

REALLY!!!???? WHO THUMBS UP a video where he SKIPS WHICH BOLTS COME OUT FIRST!?

You took the old gear which was giving you a problem and the put it in the new gear box. What am I missing here. Did you not just shoot your self in the foot? Why did you change it to begin with? What am I missing?

How did you determine which gearbox to buy?

I can’t get the Sleeve off to take the gear box off
