Title: HWH Leveling system
Post by: Jerry Steele on August 16, 2011, 01:05:52 pm
 The  green travel light will not came on.  I tried to manually level but the front bags are all the way up and will not exhaust air at all.  I can hear the solenoid click but nothing happens.
    How do I find the exhaust ports to check for fouling ?  Any and all help will be appreciated.

Between the front wheels, look for a rectangular box with several lines going to it and solenoids screwed into it.  The exhaust ports do not have lines to them.  Often, mud daubbers will clog these with their nests.  Just clean them out.  Be careful when you're under the coach! 

I know there's a photo somewhere on the forum here - still searching and will update when I find it.

Here's one George Hatfield posted.  Just above and to the left of the center of the photo you can see the solenoid side of the manifold.  The exhaust ports are (I believe) on the other side.

I know there's still a better photo out there...

     Went to town, purchased 4  11X 2 1/2  X 3/8 pieces of square tubing, came home, slid under the coach and cleaned the dobber filled exhaust ports.  Down came the front of the coach.  Now the manual leveling
will work.  Thanks all and to all a good night.
