Broken automatic levelers

I have a 2010 forest river rv. After parking and auto leveling the rv. The rear levelers were on mud, they started to slide, and they bent. I had to cut off the metal shaft that is pushed out of the hydraulic canister. Anyways does anyone know if I have to replace the whole hydraulic unit, or can I just replace that shaft, or any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,
D

In my experience the shaft and seal kit somtimes is almost as much as the complete cylinder.
Call your dealer an ask them if there's a parts brake down.

If it's an HWH cylinder there located about 25 minutes from me here in Iowa.


Welcome to the forum and good luck.

search your area for a hydraulic repair shop. most of the time they can make a new rod and install new seals for a lot less than what the parts are from the factory
