Well I just posted how much we love our Four Winds Super C 35SB , have only owned it a couple of months now, when suddenly while I was driving down I-25 I heard a blast, like something exploded, and then something started beeping. It stopped after a couple of minutes. When I got to my campsite everything appeared okay but when I went to put my jacks down, I had an auto retract level error. I came onto these boards and read that if I push the retract and error button at the same time then it should reset. That didn't happen, smoke started coming in my cab so I turned off the engine and then pink hydraulic fluid poured out of the undercarriage. That gathered a lot of attention at the campground. All the campers said we should be fine to stay and we drove it up on a log to get level now. Of course, it's a holiday weekend and I can't get ahold of anyone at Lippert. I called our warranty place and they said they can tow it for us, but the engine is running fine, the smoke must have been just residual burning off. However, the carpet behind the drivers and passenger seat is saturated with fluid. It must have sprayed up at quite a velocity. My question is, am I okay to drive this RV back home, it's 100 miles, or are the jacks going to drop down when I am driving? Also, how safe is it to sleep in this, is hydraulic fluid toxic to breathe in? It has no smell, I just stepped in it while I went to turn on the radio. I have 10 people coming to boat and camp this weekend and I am hoping I am okay to stay and try to make the best out of it and drive home safely?
