I have purchased a 99 Landyacht 33 ft. It is eguiped with the power gear levelling system. When I used the unit in warm weather everything seemed fine. but now that temps are down to freezing I noticed the jacks down light comes on during hard acceleration and goes out again at normaloperation while driving. My question is should I top off the fluid while it remains this cold or should it be left for warmer temps as the fluid wil expand when it is warmer? Hate to fill it for cold and have it overfull when warmer. Thanks for any help.
Check the pads and see if you can determine which one is leaking, mine was from the rear drivers side, fixed by adding transmission seal, when leak stopped changed oil, resevoir held about a gallon.
POWER GEAR LEVELING JACKS "SEAL KIT" for LEAKING JACK
I thought this dialog with AIRSTREAM FACTORY could be of some use to you and other LAND YACHT owners (mine is a 2000 Land Yacht 33' gas).
GOOD MORNING DAVID !
I HAD MY PURCHASER CONTACT POWER GEAR ON THIS PROBLEM. THEY DO SELL SEAL KITS FOR THIS SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE JACK KIT. I HAVE GIVEN THE INFORMATION TO A DEALER IN NORTH CAROLINA. OUT OF DOORS MART #336-993-4518 AND TALK WITH BEN. I HAVE GIVEN HIM YOUR NAME AND NUMBER SO HE WILL BE CALLING YOU. OR IF YOU WANT TO CALL HIM YOURSELF. HE WILL BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU A PRICE AND ORDER THIS FOR YOU. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE. THANKS KAREN VETTER ( karen@airstream.com ) AIRSTREAM PARTS

Karen,
POWERGEAR no longer will no longer talk to individual RV owners only dealers. So, would you mind calling them for that information and getting it to me via email or phone.

2000 Airstream Land Yacht 33’
Unit # 640780
Question: Power Jacks by "POWER GEAR"
Invoice states "208 W.B."
I have one that is LEAKING at the jack and leaving puddle. Is there a KIT to fix that or am I faced with replacing the entire Jack (I hope not). There must be a seal kit of some kind.
I hope you can give me some helpful advice.
Thanks
Dave Shrader
