  1. I have a Itasca meridian v 39'ft. I have a leak on the hydraulic system. I have call the dealer. What I don't understand is the hydraulic fluid is mounted on the front right side of the RV on a piece of what looks like a piece of plywood. I believe this is a big problem . when the weather is raining or snow it will wrought out after a while and fall off. SHOULDN'T THIS BE A STEEL PLATE OR ALLUMIM PLATE.
