Even though I have as yet had no problems, my dealer is suggesting I spend about $6-700 bucks to have a Venture Mfg. second landing gear motor installed on my new 2011 Montana Mountaineer 326rlt. This eliminates the bar and he says gets rid of the risk of breaking the shear pin, etc.

Anyone have experience with this. So far (one two week trip) we have had no problems with our landing gear, although it is slow. My dealer says installing the second motor will also speed things up. I have seend some threads on landing gear issues, including one on switching to hydraulics. That sounds like a much more expensive solution.
