Check room slide in or out sensors, check bedroom slide ( may be under bed  if you have an east west bedroom slide) Also check Barry Beam site for photo's. Also you have around 6 air pressure sensors on the air bags to tell HWH System bags are inflated. Good Luck!

6 air pressure sensors?  On the air bags?  Where are they located, exactly?  Do you have a photo of one of them?

You can go to HWH Corp. and under Foretravel specific manuals and parts. You  go to M-2656 on pages 20-25 you will see air pressure sensing units that are on the 6 pack manifolds. This is on the HWH 2000 leveling system. Or on Barry's site search for air pressure switches or under RV technical help you can go down to Air System and click on HWH Air Leveling System Explained.

Ellen & David,

I have a good understanding of how the HWH leveling system works.  The reason I commented on your post was because you mentioned some features of which I was not aware, namely:

"you have around 6 air pressure sensors.......on the air bags.....to tell HWH System bags are inflated."

I was curious about this statement, because all the HWH leveling systems I have seen only have 3 air pressure switches - 2 in the front and one in the rear.  They are not located on the air bags - they are located on the 6-pack manifolds.  And, the switches have no way of knowing whether or not the air bags are inflated.  They only know what the pressure is in the manifold to which they are attached.

Reading your post, I thought the HWH Series 2000 system might have some features that differed from the earlier systems.  That is why I asked.  After looking at the manual, as you suggested, I see the 2000 Series is basically the same as earlier iterations, but there are differences.  One big difference is the addition of two "extra" pressure switches on the rear 6-pack manifold.  Plus, if the coach has a tag axle, then there are 2 more pressure switches on the tag manifold, giving you a possible grand total of 7!

Makes me glad the leveling system on our old coach is so (relatively) simple.  8)

Paul,

It should be mounted on the frame rail just behind the right rear wheels.  It should be visible if you open the basement door behind your rear tires on that side. It is somewhat hid behind the ride height valve.

I looked, but I really don't know what I'm looking for...lol and I'll be dammed if I can locate any schematics/locations/pictures for our coach. I've been working all week so I've had have limited time....I had to tear apart the wet bay to fix a bad Water Check valve.

I'll look again tomorrow (Saturday). We have to leave in a week and somehow this thing has to move...LOL I'll just need to find a way to bypass things...Man I don't like being stranded

Thanks, That will give me some reading to do. Someone mentioned slide switches could be a problem. Do you know where these things are located?

Thanks, Paul

There are limit switches over the top of the main slide out and may have limit switches on top of the bedroom slide and also maybe on the bottom of the slide under the closet if you have the closet slide out.
