All,
After fueling up I pulled out of the service station and across the main road in Naples, Italy. We had had a long drive and my brain was not not fully engaged so I didn't notice the big dip in the road as I pulled out. The result was that I drove one of the jacks in to the (freshly laid) tarmac on the service station as the tail dropped. The "Jacks Down" alarm came on immediately so I stopped at the side of the road. After checking all round the jacks were all retracted. I then got called back across the road by the owner of the service station who was ranting about the massive hole and scrape I had left on his forecourt. When I saw the damage to the tarmac I thought the worst for the RV.
We left fairly quickly as the area in Naples looked pretty damn unfriendly and proceeded for a couple of miles to the camp ground (alarm still going off). When we arrived the jacks extended without a problem so I am pretty sure that I haven't bent one of the rear legs however I need to fix the alarm situation.
Any thoughts on what might of happened, knocked a cable off to the jack alarm or is it more serious than that?
p.s you guys have been lifesavers whilst we have been on our tour of Europe, always feel like there is someone who can help at the end of the internet. Thanks again.
Yours
