Hydraulic Hose Lines

[Colorado]

After sitting a year I am now seeing hydraulic lines for my leveling jacks leaking and it is not coming from the hose connectors. Does anyone have or know where i can get a schematic of the hydraulic hoses?

How hard of a job is it to change them all out?

You won't find any schematics for any systems on any of Thors towables, I think there may be some for some of the high end motorhomes.
IMHO I don't think you'd need to replace hoses unless you actually see one leaking.
You may just need to operate the system a few times to get all the seals lubricated again after sitting for a year.
If you read about the level up system it's recommended to operate the slides/jacks at least monthly & to wipe down the jack rams with a silicone lubricant monthly if extended for long periods & to spray them with the silicone before retracting.

A few years back i had a cylinder start leaking after it sat… I sprayed the ram with silicone and raised and lowered a few times, spraying the ram in between each cycle…. The leak went away…

I noticed it because I had oil in the foot pad.

If at some point you do have a jack leaking take it to a hydraulic repair shop rather than buying a new one. Having it rebuilt will cost about a 1/4 to a 1/3 of the price of a new one & most likely with better parts.

I'm having same issue. I found a Youtube channel where a guy replaced an O Ring on lower part of hydraulic jack in exact spot where mine is leaking. Said it cost less than $5 for O ring and is a common issue. Mine is leaking at the seam where lower part of cylinder attaches with upper part. Getting ready to try it. If I can't fix then I'll have it rebuilt at repair shop. Good luck (for both of us).

What is the link to watch the video of the o-ring replacement?
