Yes, but under warranty my DS leg gear sheared off in the first 6 months of use. If you need to replace them then you will need to remove the wall inside your lower hatch behind the hitch which will give you access to the leg. The other side is accessible from the propane locker and below.

What's the issue? Did you check the shear bolts? Motor? Before you move any further do a diagnosis and see what exact parts you need.

There is a drive in the motor that can be replaced and I carry an extra one as well.

The top caps come off the legs to check the gears.

Brass nut on the worm gear stripped,already removed and disassembled the motor side leg and need to order a new leg. I'm gonna go ahead and replace both legs,motor and gear box. Just can't find a way to guarantee that I order the correct leg. Called Jayco at 4:30 and was left on hold with the parts department until 5 when they closed.never got to speak to anyone in parts even though I was next in line the whole time with an estimated wait time of 1 minute.

You might try to email them, with your VIN. They have been pretty responsive to me that way.

I looked long and hard (about two years) at both the Bulldog and Ultrafab dual motor landing gear jacks. I ultimately bought that Ultrafab jacks, mainly because they have tabs on the tubes that fit my existing brackets. So far, I am very pleased with them.

Have not replaced on this camper, but several on my 2006 Holiday Rambler. Lippert makes a rebuild kit for around $50.00.Happy Trails
