I am towing my DRV up to a Machinist friends place with a pit tomorrow in NW WA. We are removing the front jacks and one rear. The fronts are TIRED!!! The rear one has weeped at the lower portion of the tube where it screws to the lower housing.
He will be checking the foot pad adapter for alignment and if needed cut them off and re weld to be aligned properly. He will be replacing the single lip seals with MUCH more substantial seals. Basically he will be doing the same exact job Robert's RV does.
On the rear he most likely will replace the seal at the joint only as they are very trouble free.
I will take pics and report how well it turns out.
Once he has done mine he will have an idea of what he will be charging to do the same job for others that would rather have the work done in the NW VS Indiana. He also has 50A power and water.
Robert's said once these rams are PROPERLY rebuilt they are a better system than what Lippert replaces them with. Another negative of the Lippert fix is the rams are not angled (someone please confirm this) and they are shorter.
