Mountianeer owners, might want to Check this.

Yesterday I bought a new 2010 324RLQ mountianer. In my pre buy walk through I noticed something you might want to check on yours as well.

In the compartment where the battery is located, facing the unit, look to the side above the battery where the landing gear motor is located. There is a strap type bracket bolted to the wall. Below that bracket is a black hydraulic line passing through a hole leading to the slide selectors. On mine, that bracket was partially covering the hole and had the hydraulic line pinched. I don't think it would be long before it wears through and I end up cranking the slides in manually not to mention the fluid mess it would make.

Might just be a one off problem, but since it is out of sight you may not have noticed if yours has the same problem.

Keep looking, there are all sorts of little items like you just found. I have found more instances of lines rubbing than anything else. I carry an old hose that I put on the cables/lines to protect them.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll do more checking for possible chafe as well as other things when I get it home and can really tar into it.

I suggest using "spiral wrap" on all hydraulic/electrical lines/bundles where you think chaffing may be a problem.
