We have a 2003 Montana 5th wheel 32 foot. Landing gear will not lift front of trailer when loaded. Makes a "ratcheting" noise and won't move even using the handcrank. Works fine with no load. Dealer says possibly overloading as underside storage and front closet are in front. We have put on one new motor so far and now after using it no more than 6 times are having the same problem. We don't feel we are overloading it but do take a lot of things when we go to Florida for the winter. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks.
