Solution for Needing Replacement Landing Gear for 2013 Starcraft Travelstar 278 BHS w Atwood 71125
Question:
Hello, we have a 2013 Starcraft travelstar 278 BHS. The front left landing gear failed. My husband has it out — the outer black tube and inner leg were both just hanging loose. The info we can get Atwood, leg # is 1792 with a 34” . The capacity bulletin numbers are 70802 and/or 71125. Appears Atwood doesn’t make these anymore. Is there a replacement jack?

Since Atwood is no longer in the landing gear business it is basically impossible (unfortunately) to get just a replacement leg. The part number that you gave me actually is a document that shows the various parts for Atwood landing gear, but nobody has information as to what those replacement parts are the equivalent of.
Because of this I recommend replacing the landing gear on your 5th wheel trailer. This gives you some peace of mind that you won't have to replace any parts in the near future but also when it does come to repairs that you can find replacement parts much easier.
For a replacement I recommend the etrailer.com Landing Gear # RVLG-8HDL which can be activated by the motor # LC142178. As long as you have 15-1/2" between the weld stops on your current Atwood landing gear then you won't have to do any welding to install this replacement kit!
