Our motorhome seems to break when we are not near it. We had it out to

the AC fixed. Fine again. Then we took it to the garage to have its

down the HWH jacks and now the jacks won't come up. Barry called Tiffin
and they said something about bleading all the lines....whatever it was,
wasn't suitable to be handled by a PhD in Education. He has been trying
to reach HWH at their toll-free number but can't. I am thinking I may
have the wrong number. Does anyone have it? Does anyone have their
regular toll number?

We had their jacks (same system) on the fiver and never had a moment's
problem with it except for when the breather cap on the tank broke and
they overnighted me a new, metal one.

If anyone wants to take a stab at an easy fix, be my guest. I've already
checked all the fuses. They are fine.
Hi Janet,
None of the jacks or just one or two?

To get the jacks up. In the compartment where the tank and pump are
you will see near the pump & motor 4 solenoids (more if you have
hydraulic slide outs). Each solenoid controls one jack. On the
solenoid body you will see what looks like a small Tee handle. These
are the manual releases for the jacks. Turn these Tee handles to
relieve the pressure so the springs can pull up the jacks. If the
solenoids are not marked as to which jack they control you will have to
open them one at a time until the jack you want up starts going up.
They will retract slowly. Once the jacks are all up close up all the
Tee handles. They might show in the Tiffin manual or the HWH manual
which solenoid controls which jack.

There should also be fuses on the control box for the HWH jacks,
besides the ones supplying power. You may have blown one of these fuses
or maybe the control box is bad. Don't mess with the control panel
until HWH tells you to :) You should contact them and tell them the
problem. They have always treated me well. They will probably want you
to take it to one of their service centers or back to your dealer if he
is an authorized service center.

Might have a hard time getting in touch with them over the Easter
weekend.

HWH Phone numbers. (563)724-3396 or (800)321-3494

Hope this helps some. Take care and Happy Campin...
