    Loose bolts on Level Up struts on brand new Solitude

    Heads-up, everyone. After reading a post in the other sandbox about loose bolts holding the Level Up landing gear struts to the chassis, I went out and checked ours this morning. Of the 36 bolts (six on each of six struts), only one or two didn't need tightening! One was loose enough to turn with my fingers and required about five turns to tighten. Most required at least a turn to get good and tight.

    There was a thread on here last year about the same issue started by TENN22. Between us and another friend all 3 of our 2019 Momentums had the same issue. Every single bolt on mine was loose...some I could turn by hand. I think these are installed on the frame by Lippert and sent to GD. Someone should add this to the QA/QC list at the factory. Or the bolts could be stretching after a few uses, but I doubt it.
