Landing Gear won't stay put
Hey All,
My front landing great drops about an inch in 7 to 10 days. Is this normal?

It is not normal since it is a hydraulic system. I would mark the hydraulic reservoir in the battery compartment with a piece of tape and see if the tank level is increasing when the gear drops (If you do not have Level-Up). Sounds to me like a bypass leak in a cylinder. I do not think there is any other way for this to occur. Even if you have the Level Up, it is not normal but the drop could be made up by the rear jacks raising and you would not see a change in the reservoir. Just my thoughts.

Hello, I just had the right rear one replaced by the dealer. I called lippert first and they said the seal inside the leg was leaking within itself. Dealer put a new one on and its good. Now the right middle is doing the same thing. It is on order from lippert. Good luck

Sure sounds like a hydraulic issue.

Well, specifically it sounds like a bad seal in the hydraulic system and fluid is leaking through ever so slowly. As for me, I have the mechanical system but I've had issues with mine. So nothing is perfect or will last forever. Murphy rules.
