I am wondering how hard to remove genset to get to drivers side leg. Maybe easier to cut galvanised sheeting behind propane tank and then just bolt in new acsess panel there. seems like it would make maintnenance easier for that jackleg in the future. I would love some input on this as next weekend I plan on installing this system. Thanks
Once installed, there is no maintenance on the jackleg, other than spraying the extension with silicone occasionally. The motor is attached to the top with three allen screws. Positioning the motor so that you can get an allen wrench on them is something to watch.
You do need some room to put the jack leg in place and bolt it in. Getting the old jack out will require the same clearance. I don't think going in through the propane cabinet will give you enough. It might be easier to unbolt your generator and slide it over (guessing, I don't have one in my rig) in order to make the swap.
Without having a generator to deal with, the front legs are the easy part. The rears take some work drilling the frame for the mounts, actually getting at the bolts inside the frame area, and routing the cabling. Not overly hard, just takes time.
If you do get them, beware of the torque spec they give for the rear jack bolts. The instructions quote 75 ft-lbs (an earlier version had 100 ft-lbs). That is way in excess of what the ASTM 307A bolts they supply will take. They are rated more like 20 ft-lbs. After snapping several, before realizing the problem, I replaced all of them with Grade 8 bolts and torqued to 42 ft-lbs.
Another potential problem area is getting the foot pads into the front legs. There was a problem with their supplier leaving excess weld inside on the seam and not grinding it off. Unless you file it out, you will not get the pads to install, so check the fit and ease of install before mounting the legs. I spoke with Sonny at R-T and he said they thought they had isolated all of the problem legs, but I got "lucky." I also discussed the bolt torque problem with him. I don't know what came of that.
Once up and running, though, it appears to be an excellent upgrade.
