How To Install the Landing Gear Set Part # RVLG-8000

Question:

Hello, Im very interested in the RVLG 8000 for use in a prototype invention. If it works well, I will want to source them for production. Do you have a video that shows the landing gear in use, and/or during installation? I watched the review video on the product page, but it doesnt show actual operation or installation. Heres a bit more info about my intended application: two sets of the RVLG 8000 landing gear will replace four jacks that Im currently using on a mobile boutique. They help me to boost a shed-like structure up from a trailer, then lower it to the ground once Ive removed the trailer from underneath. Im attaching some pics. Let me know if you have any other videos.

The installation of the Landing Gear Set part # RVLG-8000 will be fairly straight forward. Basically, you will need to have a metal support structure so you can attach welded tabs part # LC113511 to it, 15-1/2" apart. Once these are installed you can then mount the jack tube and modify a cross-shaft that connects the two together which is included. Then, you will need to obtain a handle, the Crank Handle part # RVLG-HDL to raise and lower the legs.

Unfortunately, we do not have a video of the Landing Gear Set in use or being installed but I was able to find a photo of the weld-on brackets and cross-shaft which should give you a better idea of how they mount. I am sure you can find a general video of landing gear sets online and they won't be much different than the above in terms of use and installation.

I am replacing my old leaving system with the RvLG8000 but it has a pin for adjusting the legs mine has a pull pin assembly. Came I take the pin assembly of the old one and install it on the new one?

As long as your older pull pin system fits properly on the Landing Gear Set # RVLG-8000 then you're go. We actually have an upgrade with part # RVLG-SPP if yours doesn't fit properly.
