To find the correct landing gear length make sure your 2009 Sandpiper is on level ground and you will need to measure from the trailer's mounting brackets to the ground to find out the correct length; we do not have specs on individual trailers for things such as the appropriate landing gear length.

You will also need to know the distance from outside to outside of your landing gear brackets. For example, if they are 17-1/2 inches the Lippert Electric Landing Gear # LC333964 would likely work well. This landing gear has a 6,000 lb support capacity and offers 37" of total lift. Landing gear is fairly universal so this could work for you.

I've added a link to our entire selection of landing gear for you to check out.

It sounds like the landing gear on your Fuzion Toy Hauler may have been overextended, which likely caused damage to the internal gears and screw. This "flopping" that you mentioned is essentially the unit trying to extend but since the…

Answer 12

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
