Replacement Landing Gear for Frame Clamps That Measure 18-1/2 Inches Apart

Question:

Hi there. My spider gears on my landing gear need replaced on both the lead and follow Jacks. I dont want to replace the whole jack cause they are fine. My jacks have no info on them or anything. They are both the same size jack. Can I order some new gears even if the new ones are different than the old ones. I will be replacing both gears on each side. My RV is a 1999 Savvana

If you have measured your landing gear like in the accompanying diagram and the frame clamps are 18-1/2 inches apart you have an uncommon spacing; you can use the Landing Gear Set # LG-183708 but would need to have a welder come in and remove your current brackets and weld new ones on that are the appropriate length.

The probable reason you have uncommon spacing between your brackets is the landing gear on your Avion Savannah was likely made by RBW some years ago and they are no longer in business which limits exact replacements for their parts.

We were discussing my landing gear measurements, mine were the ones with the 18.5inch spacing and you asked if a 41inch cross shaft would work. The measurement between my two jacks is 80inch would the part number you gave me work?

The cross shafts from our landing gear do not extend up to 80 inches but you should be able to re-use your current cross shaft. You will simply need the Replacement Lead Jack # LG-179013, Replacement Follow Jack # LG-179014 and Replacement Weld-On Mounting Brackets # LG-BRACKETS and have them welded on at the appropriate 17-1/2 inch spacing as shown in the diagram. I have added links to video reviews of these parts for you to take a look at.

The landing gear repair kits we have, which include the gears, are designed to be used with Lippert, Venture or Stromberg Carlson landing gear. As I mentioned earlier I believe your '99 Savannah has landing gear made by RBW so I would be unable to confirm if the Lead Jack Repair Kit # LG-146059 and Follow Jack Repair Kit # LG-146060 would work because RBW is no longer in business and the parts included in these kits, including the gears, have not been test fit with your landing gear.
