Driver side hyd. hoses leaking at crimp on the orange (factory installed) hoses going to the front and center jacks.
Had the unit in the shop before we left for the Philippines, when we got back they were worse than when we left.
Dealer got the ok to replace with after market hoses, been in shop two weeks and will hopefully get it out by 05/25/18. Kinda glad I purchased extended warranty.
All in all still satisfied with the 14 Redwood 38GK.

We had a leak in the same spot last year. While at the rally, Lippert folks replaced both hoses to the front driver side lift cylinder...............absolutely no charge, and we were absolutely out of warranty. I was pleased as punch.

Had the Middle Jack curb side that was seeping on ours, turned out to be just a loose fitting of the hose to the jack, just tighten and no problem since.

As stated, I was in the shop before we went to the Philippines, in march. they were tightened by me be as the RW would slump down 2 degrees in a week while on vacation in January of 18. They inspected and was told by warranty company to take them loose and reinstalled. I told them and showed that the crimps were leaking. Still it was done what warranty wanted so when we got home there was a 3.5 degree slope. Now they are getting replaced.
