Found under kitchen base cabinet, driver side. It's held in place by 3 screws with springs.

Mine has that and I was told, "DO NOT TOUCH, or mess with it".

I seem to remember Kent Speers posting about what a bugger it was to get it working right after messing with it. Leave it alone!!

Thanks everyone.  How does it function? Is there oil or some other fluid (mercury?) inside?

HWH told me mine was mercury. I haven't gone looking for it, but now that I have a picture of it I'll know it when I see it.

The replacement is electronic and I put it right next to the box. Works fine and easier then running it all the way thru the coach and easier to adjust too if you need to that is.

We also have installed the HWH electronic level sensor. It cannot be mounted inside as it is designed to be mounted to a ceiling surface, which makes a bay ceiling the only choice.
