Hi all, wow, just a week or so off the forum and sooo much has happened! Welcome to all the new folks here, and if needed we'll try to get you up and running.
I, too, have run into a problem. After traveling for about 5hrs from one CG to another with only the refer on, I didn't have enough power to raise the top.
As it started up it was VERY slow, and then insufficient power to finish the raise. HUMMMMM. Culprit -- cable connection from TT to TV. These are kept clean, however, the connection was not complete. It was not plugged all the way. Repositioned the prongs and I was good. Went shopping while the battery charged at the site. Returned, had power, no up! NO fluid, none on the ground. Topped tank off in the down position, raised it and the top settled on the bar. Discovered the return line FULL of fluid.
Internal cylinder leak. That fast it happened!
At home now, looking for a rebuild of the cylinder fast, as we're heading to Panama City, Fl. in two weeks.
BTW, Blue Springs near Orlando and Rainbow Springs near Tampa are on our new favorites list.
