Worst weekend

I had the worst camping weekend .. I bumped a wall at the step which bent my center jack and step and lower skirt. Propane lines are there so I hafta disconnect and make new bracket for the mounting jack.. there is a junction block that has no swivel fittings for propane. So I am asking if anyone has to disconnect the fuel lines and is there enough play in the line to disconnect. 2nd if the jack is in the up position is there Hydraulic pressure in them?

Thanks Tim

I'll try the 2nd question. No, there should be no pressure in the hydraulic lines if the jacks are up. Have a small container ready to catch a few drips.

Thanks .. This AM I just took the Jack off and yes just a few drips and the camper does not appear to be dropping on the front jacks only.
As far as the Propane lines I did disconnect and move them out of the way but the fitting did spin in the rubber hose, I am not happy about that and hope that the fitting is still in tack for no leakage. Now the plate that mounts the jack is totally mangled .. Anyone know if this bracket can be purchased??

This is the plate welded to the Camper .. Welding a new one back on should not be a problem if one did exist.

When you hook up the propane again be sure to check for leaks. A glass of water with a few drops of dish detergent will show any fittings that are leaking. Don't stir the soap solution, just drip a small paint brush in and wet down the fittings.

I got it back together .. Kinda felt like a black smith using a Rose bud to form the bracket back in shape .. drug the welder out and welded it back on, had to stop at a bolt store for new ones and black paint .. I gotta say it doesn't look bad and lifts the camper off the ground .. I was looking for OEM wheels on line and can't seem to locate one it's a SR0001-B SR Wheels 16x16.1 if you know a lead that would be great .. Thanks

Sounds like the same markings I saw on the back of my wheels. I have a 2014 3200 model and had to replace a wheel due to damage from a blow out. Found the exact wheel here, 16" 8 Lug Bearcat Black HD Aluminum Trailer Wheel.

Only took two days to get the wheel. I think it came from Ohio if I remember correctly.

I posted something yesterday with a link in it, but it said something about a moderator needing to approve the post.

I have a 2014 Voltage 3200 and had to replace one of the factory wheels due to a blow out. I had the exact same marking on the back side of the rim and couldn't cross reference it to anything.

Take a look at trailertiresandwheelsdotcom under the 16" 8 lug aluminum wheels at the Bearcat wheel. Their sku number on the site is AWSB66865B.

It looked the same as my factory wheels and when it came in it was indeed identical. Including the same stuff stamped on the backside of the wheel.
