We had a client come in thinking he had a problem with one of his leveling jacks. But after a little digging, we discovered the issue wasn’t a leak, a loose fitting, or a bad part at all — it was a rodent.
Yep… a tiny critter managed to chew right through a hydraulic hose, causing the system to lose pressure and stop working properly. It’s wild how something so small can create such a big mess. Take a look at this critter's handiwork in the photo below and check out those teeth marks!
If your RV, trailer, or leveling system sits for long periods, critters can find their way into some unexpected places. Today was a good reminder that even well‑built systems aren’t immune to nature’s “engineers.”
Stay safe, stay level — and maybe keep an eye out for furry visitors where they don’t belong! 🐾😅
