Title: leveling problem
Post by: Mike Preising on July 14, 2010, 10:49:56 am
On my 2002 u-270 when I try to level the coach with the front lower than the rear it will not level. The front will not raise up not even with the raise button pushed. The coach will go into travel mode, then the front will raise.
Where do I start to look for the problem?

Is it possible you are on an excess slope and your rear is on the upper part of the slope.
That might prevent your front from coming up.

I gotta laugh a little, Hell, I had my 320 36' 2001 model for 2 years before I figures out how to  control the HWH leveling other than just auto level. For example if I wanted to raise one side or one end only, I had no idea that worked.  Never had a manual to real, but one day the light went off between the ears, and only pushed the button once, then I could control individual buttons and make em work.
Some days I feel slow.
As they are saying about still learning new things about the coach it very true.

The problem happens on even a slight incline. The out of level light stays on showing the front low. After a while the auxiliary compressor fires up and cycles until it activates the blow off valve and won't stop until I push the emergency stop button.
Is there an air solenoid specific to raising the front end? Or is it more likely an electrical issue?

Mike,
Here is some troubleshooting charts that may help isolate the problem.

My problem is when I go to level my MC everything will look like it is fine and the blinking Red turns a solid red... Then I turn of the key and instead of staying the solid red (HWH in the sleep mode) it goes back to the Green travel light??? Sometimes I just wait and then try it again and then it can stay red ...or back to the Green Travel mode.
