Video Transcript for Ultimate Overview of the Replacement Lead Leg for Keystone Montana 5th Wheel Landing Gear

Today, we're going to take a look at the replacement lead leg for the Keystone Montana fifth wheel landing gear. Now, this part will replace the OEM lead leg for the Keystone Montana fifth wheel landing gear.Now, the Keystone Montana fifth wheel uses a unique custom landing gear system from Lippert, and it's designed to only fit the Lippert frame on the Montana RV. This is the lead leg for that landing gear system. This part will include the landing gear lead leg, and the snap pin on the bottom here. It's very easy to install, with minimal assembly required.I'll give you a few dimensions on this. The outer tube overall length, just going to measure top to bottom, of 29 and a half inches.

The width on it is going to be two and a half inches by two and a half inches. It does have three weld stops on it. There's an upper weld stop, a middle one, and a lower weld stop. Going to give you some dimensions on that. So, if we measure from the top of the upper weld stop to the bottom of the middle weld stop, it's going to be 17 and a half inches.

If it goes to the bottom of the lower weld stop, it's 21 and a half inches. And then, if we measure from the bottom of the upper weld stop to the top of the middle weld stop, it's 15 and a half inches, and to the top of the lowest weld stop is 19 and a half inches.But that should do it for the review on the replacement lead leg for the Keystone Montana fifth wheel landing gear.

Replaces the OEM lead leg for Keystone Montana fifth wheel landing gear.

by:

Really pleased with the time it took to get the landing gear lead leg. I ordered it on Tues and received it Thursday. Was easy to install and fit perfectly. Worked perfectly and now back in business with 5th wheel.



by:

The lead landing gear stripped on my 5th wheel RV while trying unload from the truck. I called e-tailer and Gwendolyn assisted me in finding the right replacement part. She also expedited the order and shipping, and the part arrived the next day. Her follow-up emails kept me abreast of the status of the order. It was the correct part and matched perfectly. I can't say enough about the great customer service I received from Gwendolyn and e-trailer.



by:

Delivered when promised



by:

The packaged arrived in a very short time from the date it was ordered.
When I went to install this leg it did not fit the mounting brackets on my 5th wheel. i lined up with the catch locking tabs on the leg, I had to grind a 1/16 of an inch off the middle lower tab so it would catch the top tab correctly. And this leg was strictly for a keystone montana.
Other than that it fit fine and works nice and smoothly.



by:

I received the first jack, it was put together wrong or something. I called and then sent pictures you said I did receive the wrong jack. You gave me a 5% discount so I then ordered a jack for the other side of my camper. I received both jacks and installed them. Everything is working well!



by:

The new landing gear fit like the original and was easy to install

Sold the trailer in the fall of 2018, worked well when I had it



by:

When I first installed the landing gear, it functioned well. After one retraction the lower portion (sliding part attached to foot) will not smoothly retract and extend, up and down from the unit. A rubber hammer must be used to make it work.



by:

Excellent, lead landing leg was a perfect fit for my 2006 Keystone Montana RK 3295. Removal and replacement can be done by one person. Be sure to jack and block the replacement side or leave it on the truck.



by:

the landing gear has been excellent!! without a doubt was one of my best purchases that I have made online
thank you etrailer for the best on line equipment ......



by:

Replaced on a 2008 Keystone Montana. Works well, the only thing I had to do was grind a little excess metal from one of the notches as it did not line up exactly.



by:

Sturdy leg, great replacement. The only downside is I think these are geared different than the factory ones because they move at about 1/2 speed as the original ones. No worries though... I am camping, not in no hurry!



by:

Etrailer sales staff helped me to verify that I was order the right part and the shipping was incredibly fast. I will order from them again. Thanks Etrailer.



by:

The item was delivered on time as promised (thanks Kim). Easy take off and replacement. This item came with the third leg which I wasn't expecting. My Montana Mountaineer didn't have the three bump outs that this leg has. Mine old leg had two like the LG179013 has. That one may have worked for me. Happy with the purchase anyway.



by:

Front drive leg for 2008 Montana. Great service part wonderful. Thanks for the great help Troy. I recommended you to the other volunteers here at Pedernalles State Park and put your info up on board in office. THANKS!!!



by:

No way to lubricate

Very nice to find a company that does what they say and a fair price. thank you , Marc Palmer

it showed up undamaged this time and evrything worked great

Heavy….just what big Montana needed.

    The Keystone Montana is unique in that it has its own set of landing gear legs with three weld stops (tabs) instead of two, and the only option we offer for that is a set of replacement legs: - Replacement Lead Leg for Keystone Montana 5th Wheel Landing Gear # LC178653 - Replacement Follow Leg for Keystone Montana 5th Wheel Landing Gear # LC178652 If you use the bottom-most weld stop (tab) you would have to go with these, however, the distance between the top weld stop and second-to-bottom...

  • Dual Motor Landing Gear For 2006 Keystone Montana 2950RK
    I do have an option for you but Lippert designed specific landing gear for the Keystone Montana. Other landing gear sets will not match up with the hangers on your trailer unless you weld on new hangers. If you don't mind having your hangers moved by a certified welder, I recommend the Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear Set, part # UF17-943010. This system has a lift capacity of 12,000 lbs with a 38 inch lift. each motor has its own toggle switch to make leveling the trailer that...

  • Replacement Landing Gear for 2006 34 ft Keystone Montana
    Since 17-1/2 inches and 17-3/8 inches is only 1/8 of an inch difference you might have measured incorrectly. You will want to measure the inside-to-inside dimensions of your frame clamps just to make sure. If you for sure measured 17-3/8 inches then you will need to get a qualified welder to move the weld stop to the correct position. The correct replacement landing gear for your application will be part # LC178653 for the Lead Leg and part # LC178652 for the Follow Leg.

  • Replacement Landing Gear for 2005 Montana 5th Wheel Trailer
    The Keystone Montana line actually uses a unique, custom landing gear system from Lippert. The correct OEM replacement legs are # LC178653 for the Lead Leg and # LC178652 for the Follow Leg. You mentioned having a distance of 35-1/2 inches between the weld stops on your existing leg, but I'm wondering if you meant to type 15-1/2 inches. I have attached an image with the specific dimensions labeled for these replacement legs so you can be sure they will line up with your brackets. You...

  • How Do Tabs on Lippert LC178653 Landing Gear Leg Fit in Clips Welded onto 5th Wheel Frame
    That's a great question. The jacks sit in the 5th wheel frame mounted clips so that the tab on the upper end of the jack leg sits under the clip, and the tab on the lower end sits above the clip, as shown in the diagram on the right-hand side of the photo I provided. The Lippert # LC178653 replacement lead leg has three tabs on it, and the spacing of the tabs is also shown in the photo.

    I do have an option but the landing gear hangers on the Keystone Montana are not standard and they will not match up with the Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear Set part # UF17-943010. If you wanted to use the Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear Set you would need to weld new hangers on. The other option we have for you would be to install a lead leg in place of the follow leg, the Replacement Lead Leg for Keystone Montana 5th Wheel Landing Gear part # LC178653 as this would then...

    The lead leg of your landing gear is the leg that has the motor and gear box attached to it directly.

  • Clicking and Popping Noise Coming from Landing Gear Set On a Keystone Montana 5th Wheel
    In order to determine if the issue you are having with your landing gear legs clicking and popping is caused by the gear box or leg assembly you will simply need to disconnect the gear box from the legs and then test each manually. If you feel resistance when manually turning the legs then that would indicate either a gear is stripped or the inner tube is bent therefore they would need to be replaced.
