Question: Is this covered under warranty? I am having this done on my 310RL, which is having its one year inspection next month.

I don't believe so but I'd invite you to email your question into our Customer Service team at service@alliancerv.com

Include the last 6 of your VIN, your name and contact number and your question. Thanks!

Added just under a quart of Maxima Fork Oil Grade 15 to top off the hydraulic reservoir which eliminated any popping. Simple fix.

Hi @Rydrcoach - say, is this (link) the exact oil you purchased? I did't see a grade but on the one I linked - the 15 is the oil weight.

 

[Rydrcoach]

Jim: Yes that is the oil I added. It is one of the three options recommended in the Lippert Lip sheet.

Ah yes - I see it there I'll order a quart to take with me on the road.

Maybe a dumb question but will this work on the Valor lines as well? Thanks in advance!

I was always taught that the only dumb question was the one not asked. 😀 That being said, I remember watching an Owner Empowerment video on the hydraulic system and if I remember correctly, it was for all of 'em.

I’m thinking if it’s a Lippert system, it will work.

 

[Jim Beletti]

Ron - I agree with SouthernLady - the AntiStiction fluid will work for your Valor.

In trying to follow this link I receive a message saying “you do not have permission to view this page”. The wife and I just bought a ‘23 382RK and are experiencing a lot of popping. If you, or someone, could point me in the right direction I’d appreciate it.

Same here

@mrcomer and @JTDrake - Link fixed. Thanks for letting me know.

There will be other links like this that I will need to repoint as we (collective we) find them. The reason being is:
We've created a new online resource that has not been hard-launched. Here's the link to it.

Over time, the Resource section in the forum will point to the categories on the website link above.

Awesome, thank you much!

Great timing as I have to replace a jack (due to my own negligence 🫣. I should spill just enough in the process to top it off with the fork oil.

Here is a video I did years ago (with prior RV) for this problem. Hope it is helpful.

Just curious if those that have added the anti-stiction fluid have had success in eliminating the clicking sound coming from their leveling system. We completed a couple months ago and have had several trips, thus the slides and jacks have cycled multiple times. The clicking seemed to improve initially but has since returned. I have emailed Lippert for any additional tips, just curious what success others have experienced?

 

[Whitewolf]

Mine did ok after 1 quart, I would suggest adding a second quart. It won't hurt anything if you do.

I have had some pretty reliable folks tell me (and mentioned by RVmiles on YouTube) they had the best success with the CAT fluid however that seems to be out of stock everywhere right now.
