Published 10/08/2021

Question:

We have a 2000 Coachman Catalina hw 5th wheel, vin - 1TC383613Y1504478. The only tag I can find on the landing gear is on the motor ATWOOD 76721foot dont see any 76721 on the internet only 75721. The main leg stripped out so it needs replaced. I am looking for what leg set would replace it this. The motor still works fine.

We do have something for you. I was able to locate the owners manual for your 2000 Coachman Catalina 5th wheel, which told me that Lippert is the partner they use for their landing gear. Unfortunately they do not tell you what system exactly is used or measurements, this is not uncommon as they do not always use the same system for everything. It often comes down to availability.

Landing gear jacks are often interchangeable with each other so you would need to look at the bracket stop measurements on your existing jacks to find the right replacement. The standard measurement used by most jacks is 17-1/2 inches from the top of the upper bracket stop to the bottom of the lower bracket stop as shown in the picture I have included.

The other thing to consider is the outer tubes overall height (not the overall height of the whole jack, just the outer tube). I have included one of the more common outer tube length legs and a link to the page with all of our options for you to look at once you get the measurements needed to locate the correct replacement.

If your outer tube is 29-1/2" and brackets measure 17-1/2" then the Replacement Lead Leg for Venture 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear # LC119102 will work for you. If those are not the measurements you get, please use the attached link that has all of our options.
