Results for "Level Legs"

Called Power Gear support and they said press retract after leveling, but my system deployed perfectly and now just sits there doing absolutely nothing. The system appears to receive the retract command since I can hear some activity, but the legs remain extended. The only way to get them up is by engaging the transmission which triggers the emergency retract function.

I need a systematic approach to diagnose this retraction failure. What are the most likely causes when Power Gear levelers deploy normally but won't respond to the retract command, and what's the proper troubleshooting sequence to identify whether it's a solenoid valve issue, wiring problem, or control module failure? …more

Around 85°F, my 2008 Tiffin Phaeton with Atwood Levelegs refuses to fill the airbags for leveling — works perfectly in cooler weather. The coach is sitting low and I can't get it to fill the airbags properly. One of my leveling jacks isn't working right now.

Are the Levelegs and air suspension connected systems? What should I check to get my coach to raise up so I can drive safely? Is this something I can troubleshoot myself or do I need professional help? …more

Opened my 2022 Holiday Rambler 38N DP and discovered it's eating through surge protectors way faster than normal, despite having the built-in Southwire system. Dealer says I might not need an external surge protector like a Watchdog since it's already built in.

Does a built-in Southwire surge guard provide the same protection as a standalone EMS unit? Should I still install an external surge protector or is the built-in system sufficient? Want to make sure I have proper protection without buying unnecessary equipment. …more

Apparently my neighbor's manual stabilizer jack retracts like butter every single time, while mine is completely stuck extended with a handle that spins uselessly. It cranked down fine but now won't come back up. What causes this spinning handle issue and how do I fix it? Is this something I can repair myself or do I need professional help? …more

During our budget planning for the BigFoot upgrade, my wife casually asked why we're dropping $8k when our Atwood level legs could probably fetch decent trade-in value. My '06 Pace Arrow 38L has Atwood Level Legs that keep failing despite previous repairs, so I'm planning to upgrade to BigFoot Levelers for about $8k.

The BigFoot installer said he'd take my old Atwood system but wouldn't give me any credit - he'd just fix them up and sell the parts himself. He offered to give them back to me instead, but actually discouraged me from trying to sell them myself. This has me worried - is he trying to lowball me, or is selling RV leveling parts really that difficult and risky?

I'm concerned I might make a costly mistake either way. Are Atwood parts actually valuable enough that I should keep them and deal with selling myself, even though I don't know much about these systems? Or should I just let BigFoot take them to avoid the hassle and potential headaches? …more

Looked outside at 11 PM and discovered my HWH leveling system pump just died on me — need to figure this out before we leave in the morning. I've got a '96 Allegro Bus with what I think is called the HWH 610 leveling system. We were out camping last weekend and I started the leveling process, but someone suggested I move forward a bit for better slide clearance. So I turned off the leveling system, moved the coach forward maybe 10 feet, then tried to level again. That's when everything went wrong - now it just keeps bleeding air constantly and the pump motor won't even try to start. I've tried pressing the individual leg buttons but nothing happens except more air loss. Back home I've been doing some basic testing (please be patient with my limited knowledge). The solenoids all seem to click when I press buttons, and I've checked every fuse I can find. I suspected the pump relay since I wasn't getting any output, so I replaced it, but same problem. I'm getting confused about the wiring - should the small terminals on the pump relay get voltage or ground signal? Right now I'm seeing ground on both small posts. I also replaced all three batteries just to eliminate that possibility. I'm really puzzled how this went from working perfectly to completely dead in just 20 seconds. Any ideas what I should check next? …more
