U225 leveling jack replacement

July 24, 2015, 09:38:07 am

On my 1992 U225 I have a leveling jack that is bent after my wheel bearing accident.
 HWH wants nearly $800! for a new one ( model ap3706 or rap3706), no rebuilt in stock.
It is a 2 hose unit the 400 series (first computerized model) on my 1992 coach.
I bought a 1 hose unit from a wrecked U225 (1993) and wondered if it is possible to convert it to the 2 hose. does anyone know here or have any ideas?
 the cylinder on the parts jack (the 1993) appears the same but with 2 ports rather than 1, and the actuator is different.
 Do you think that I can buy the correct actuator ( $200) for my 2 hose system and plug one of the holes on the 1 hose parts cylinder? and use it?

or does anyone have a used one here?
thanks all for your great help.

My 93, 225 had a double action, in that the actuator caused the jack to kick down, and then the system main leg extended.  The HWH parts info had lots of diagrams of the different possible models on their site.  A possible study might answer the question whether you can modify or upgrade the parts to work.

I posted photos of how I reinstalled the double springs back on the jack, using screws in the spring to make the spring long enough to attach the top link between the two springs.
