Hi All, The thetford Aqua magic IV that was installed when I bought the trailer has multiple issues with it, and needs to be replaced. Im living in the trailer full time and am hoping to get everything I need to replace it up front (gaskets, flanges, all of it.) Im hoping to find something...

Sorry for the delayed response. I don't know how far the frame might have been off...there were a few contributing factors to my not knowing. Every time I thought I had the base level, I would find it was off again the next time I checked it. I couldnt tell if there was some "settling" going...

Thank you. I should have been more specific. Its the bottom door. I am eager to get to that repair, but that, like all the others, has to wait until I am in my lew location.

It was level, it turned out. As far as leveling, I just put the stabilizer jacks under it. I do have a broken glide block, too. There also was an intermittently bad circuit breaker, and some debris in the hydro pump, too. I still need to replace the glide block, and I think either cable...

Update: The top goes down and up reliably now!!! I do think there may be a glide block issue, and/or cable adjustment, and/or who knows, because the cables are rubbing on the port rear corner (left side facing the back of the trailer). This seems to be an old issue, as the wood already has...

Update: Bottom of trailer is now level. I have prepped the trailer to lower the top with the possibility in mind that it may get stuck in the down position (which would be awkward to live in, but I am ready for it if it does happen.) Stabilizer jacks are going to arrive today, and I expect...

Got it. Thank you!

All definitely worthwhile additions to this project. Thank you!

I don't know how I am missing these posts...just seeing this one now. Thank you, LW (If I may call you LW, haha). My model has a fuse that hangs in front of the switches, but I will check behind there, as well. I will try the WD as well. I am so grateful for all the replies on this forum!!!

I'm just seeing this now. This might be a BIG help, thank you! I am definitely going to do what you suggest. It might very well be bound up. I had been trying to measure level on the body. As soon as I read your instructions to do it on the frame, it was obvious that is the way to go...not...

Thank you! I will add more Dexron III, and see if that helps. After that (if needed) is dealing with the valve possibly having some schmootz (technical term) in it. I have a pdf called "How to fix “top half creep” in your Hilo Trailer" from this forum that includes instructions on how to flush...

Thank you, Gary. That will be really helpful when I do decide to tackle the electrical issue witht the pump. Re year and model, I just upodated my signature, so it should show here, but it is a 2000 Model 260RD ("Classic")

Thanks. Yes, I closed the valve before trying to raise it again. It is acting like the valve is open, though. No resistance. (Maybe I pushed too hard on the lifting handle and blew out some seal somewhere?) I added some Dex 3, probably too much, to be honest. (buying speedy dry for whenever I...

To save a little typing and a few clicks, the link below should take you directly to (a) page(s) with all of the Parts J&R has up on EBay so far. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?item=125824508005&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m3561.l2562&_ssn=laherr66

Thanks. EDIT: Apparently I didn't attach the picture. It should be there now. Before I connect jumper cables to things, let me make sure I understand. Going by this quick and dirty pic of my hydraulic pump, Which # Terminal are you saying that I should hook the + of a different battery (a...

Thank you all so much for your replies. I just spent the day trying to raise the top in the hope that the issue is the top just resting on the safety bar, as seems to be the consensus. Here's what I can tell you that might help troubleshooting: The release cable does not seem to do anything...

I torqued the frame, and am trying to figure out if I damaged my trailer beyond repair. The lift system safety bar is seized right now. I am living in it full time and don't have a lot of funds, but need to move ASAP. Heres the back story: I go some bad advice, and "help" from someone who...
