Maintaining level

August 11, 2013, 08:54:09 am

Our coach has been parked for about three weeks now, and the RF corner is somewhat low. Under the steps is a small electric air compressor. Is that supposed to come on automatically to keep the coach level, or to I turn it on and stretch the air hose to some point to add air? I can fire up the big engine and quickly level the coach, but I'd rather not if I don't have to. The weather guessers are saying that it is supposed to be nice today, so I thought I'd see what I can do this afternoon.

If it has HWH leveling with air bags as on our 1997 U295, it should start the 12VDC generator as required to level the coach.

Visit Welcome to HWH Corporation to find the manual for your system.

You must press the "Level" button twice to put it into automatic mode. The first press puts it into manual level mode. You should be able to level by using the arrow buttons on the key pad. The second press of the "Level" button puts it into automatic mode. It should automatically level immediately, and then go to sleep. It should "wake up" about every 30 minutes to check for level. It will let air out of air bags to reach level until that no longer works. Then, it should use the electric compressor to add air to appropriate bags to raise the low corner or side.

Thanks. I have leveled the coach several times since we got it in March, and it will hold fairly level for a couple of weeks. I was wondering why that small compressor wasn't starting, since I thought that it was there for that purpose. The rain has stopped for a bit, so I'm going to see what I can see later on.

what is your air pressure. If I have enough in my tank the compressor does not come on. You have a different model year so it may not work that way.

My tech buddy mentioned the hwh air pump comes on with any "up" command of the brain.
