Video Transcript for Review of Lippert Components - Trailer Jack,Camper Jack - LC178653

Today, we're going to take a look at the replacement lead leg for the Keystone Montana fifth wheel landing gear. Now, this part will replace the OEM lead leg for the Keystone Montana fifth wheel landing gear.Now, the Keystone Montana fifth wheel uses a unique custom landing gear system from Lippert, and it's designed to only fit the Lippert frame on the Montana RV. This is the lead leg for that landing gear system. This part will include the landing gear lead leg, and the snap pin on the bottom here. It's very easy to install, with minimal assembly required.I'll give you a few dimensions on this. The outer tube overall length, just going to measure top to bottom, of 29 and a half inches.

The width on it is going to be two and a half inches by two and a half inches. It does have three weld stops on it. There's an upper weld stop, a middle one, and a lower weld stop. Going to give you some dimensions on that. So, if we measure from the top of the upper weld stop to the bottom of the middle weld stop, it's going to be 17 and a half inches.

If it goes to the bottom of the lower weld stop, it's 21 and a half inches. And then, if we measure from the bottom of the upper weld stop to the top of the middle weld stop, it's 15 and a half inches, and to the top of the lowest weld stop is 19 and a half inches.But that should do it for the review on the replacement lead leg for the Keystone Montana fifth wheel landing gear.

Average Customer Rating:  4.7 out of 5 stars   (30 Customer Reviews)

Replaces the OEM lead leg for Keystone Montana fifth wheel landing gear.

by:

Really pleased with the time it took to get the landing gear lead leg. I ordered it on Tues and received it Thursday. Was easy to install and fit perfectly. Worked perfectly and now back in business with 5th wheel.



by:

The lead landing gear stripped on my 5th wheel RV while trying unload from the truck. I called e-tailer and Gwendolyn assisted me in finding the right replacement part. She also expedited the order and shipping, and the part arrived the next day. Her follow-up emails kept me abreast of the status of the order. It was the correct part and matched perfectly. I can't say enough about the great customer service I received from Gwendolyn and e-trailer.



by:

Excellent, lead landing leg was a perfect fit for my 2006 Keystone Montana RK 3295. Removal and replacement can be done by one person. Be sure to jack and block the replacement side or leave it on the truck.



by:

Sturdy leg, great replacement. The only downside is I think these are geared different than the factory ones because they move at about 1/2 speed as the original ones. No worries though... I am camping, not in no hurry!



by:

The packaged arrived in a very short time from the date it was ordered.
When I went to install this leg it did not fit the mounting brackets on my 5th wheel. i lined up with the catch locking tabs on the leg, I had to grind a 1/16 of an inch off the middle lower tab so it would catch the top tab correctly. And this leg was strictly for a keystone montana.
Other than that it fit fine and works nice and smoothly.



by:

I received the first jack, it was put together wrong or something. I called and then sent pictures you said I did receive the wrong jack. You gave me a 5% discount so I then ordered a jack for the other side of my camper. I received both jacks and installed them. Everything is working well!



by:

The new landing gear fit like the original and was easy to install

Sold the trailer in the fall of 2018, worked well when I had it



by:

When I first installed the landing gear, it functioned well. After one retraction the lower portion (sliding part attached to foot) will not smoothly retract and extend, up and down from the unit. A rubber hammer must be used to make it work.



by:

Replaced on a 2008 Keystone Montana. Works well, the only thing I had to do was grind a little excess metal from one of the notches as it did not line up exactly.



by:

the landing gear has been excellent!! without a doubt was one of my best purchases that I have made online
thank you etrailer for the best on line equipment ......



by:

The item was delivered on time as promised (thanks Kim). Easy take off and replacement. This item came with the third leg which I wasn't expecting. My Montana Mountaineer didn't have the three bump outs that this leg has. Mine old leg had two like the LG179013 has. That one may have worked for me. Happy with the purchase anyway.



by:

Etrailer sales staff helped me to verify that I was order the right part and the shipping was incredibly fast. I will order from them again. Thanks Etrailer.



by:

Awesome, pretty easy to install



by:

No way to lubricate



by:

Front drive leg for 2008 Montana. Great service part wonderful. Thanks for the great help Troy. I recommended you to the other volunteers here at Pedernalles State Park and put your info up on board in office. THANKS!!!

  • Replacement Landing Gear Legs for Montana RV Fifth Wheel

  • Clicking and Popping Noise Coming from Landing Gear Set On a Keystone Montana 5th Wheel
    In order to determine if the issue you are having with your landing gear legs clicking and popping is caused by the gear box or leg assembly you will simply need to disconnect the gear box from the legs and then test each manually. If you feel resistance when manually turning the legs then that would indicate either a gear is stripped or the inner tube is bent therefore they would need to be replaced. If you feel resistance when manually turning the gear box then that would indicate a gear...

  • Replacement Lead Landing Gear Leg for a 2004 Keystone Challenger 34TBH
    Replacement leg # LC178653 is unique to the Keystone Montana. Your 2004 Keystone Challenger likely uses a different lead leg, # LC179013. But it will depend on where the stops are located on the existing leg. The stops are the protrusions that stick out from the legs. Leg # LC179013 has then on the same side as the drive shaft, see picture. If yours are on the opposite side as what is shown in the picture you would need leg # LC119102.

  • Replacement Landing Gear Recommendation for 2004 Keystone Montana Landing
    If you have a Keystone Montana RV the correct kit is the part # LC178652 and # LC178653. The mounting brackets of the part # RVLG-8000 are the same but the dimensions otherwise are different enough that you'd not be able to use it.

  • Replacement Landing Gear Legs for a 2004 Keystone Montana 5th Wheel Trailer
    The Keystone Montana 5th wheel trailers use special landing gear legs. The lead leg is # LC178653 and the follower is # LC178652. Apparently, these legs have a specific bracket spacing and outer tube height combination that is unique to Montana 5th wheel trailers.

  • Replacement Landing Gear Legs for 2011 Keystone Montana Mountaineer 29RKD
    Your 2011 Keystone Montana Mountaineer 29RKD does use a unique landing gear system for which the Lead Leg # LC178653 and Follow Leg # LC178652 will work perfectly as replacements. You should be able to use your existing brackets to mount the new legs which would eliminate the need for any welding. The only reason welding would be required is if the brackets need to be replaced with new ones.

  • Replacement Landing Gear Legs for a 2010 Keystone Montana Mountaineer Fifth Wheel Trailer
    The landing gear number you have provided appears to be a Venture number. Lippert landing gear components will work in place of Venture since they were bought out by Lippert some time ago. We do have lead leg # LC178653 and follower leg # LC178652 designed for the Keystone Montana 5th wheel trailers. This trailer requires special landing gear legs and these are the appropriate replacements. Current pricing is available on the product pages.

  • Troubleshooting Landing Gear that Clicks and Will Not Lower on 2006 Keystone Montana
    The correct replacement landing gear legs are the Lippert Replacement Lead Leg for Kestone Montana 5th Wheel # LC178653 and the Replacement Follow Leg # LC178652. You mentioned that you've already replaced the motor and switch, # # LC217884, and the gear box # LG-179015. Since you've already replaced these components, it sounds like your landing gear is not getting enough power for the system to work. I recommend checking your trailer batteries to ensure they are fully charged. If the...

  • How Do Tabs on Lippert LC178653 Landing Gear Leg Fit in Clips Welded onto 5th Wheel Frame
    That's a great question. The jacks sit in the 5th wheel frame mounted clips so that the tab on the upper end of the jack leg sits under the clip, and the tab on the lower end sits above the clip, as shown in the diagram on the right-hand side of the photo I provided. The Lippert # LC178653 replacement lead leg has three tabs on it, and the spacing of the tabs is also shown in the photo.

  • Replacement Landing Gear Set Recommendation for 2007 Keystone Cougar
    A Keystone Cougar would use the standard style of landing gear unlike the Montana which uses a unique style. For a powered set that will fit your trailer and work well we have the Stromberg Powered Landing Gear part # LG-1 or for the non-powered kit that will cost a bit less we have the part # LG-183708 which will require you to crank the jacks by hand. The # LG-1 will raise and lower as you hold down the corresponding button.

    I do have an option but the landing gear hangers on the Keystone Montana are not standard and they will not match up with the Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear Set part # UF17-943010. If you wanted to use the Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear Set you would need to weld new hangers on.
