The surging I refer to is that of the water pump which you can hear and feel through the shower floor, constantly in cadence, on-off, on-off, on-off. . . .as long as the water is on. I am told this is normal however, this was not the way the water system performed in our 08 Fleetwood Discovery. With each surge (on-off) you get alternating scalding hot, then chilling cold water from the shower head. It is all but impossible to adjust the two control knobs.
Any ideas ?
As for the leveling. . .are you ready for this. . .? The PowerGear system as installed will not let you switch from "auto" to manual. It is one or the other. You select "ON" and then must choose either "auto" or "manual." Once selected, the air exits the airbag ride system then commences to level the coach. If you start with "auto" you must remain with "auto." If I want to manually level the coach or make minor adjustments to the coach level, I must select "raise" all jacks and wait an estimated 3-4 minutes until jacks are completely up, stored and the jacks down alarm stops. Then, and only then, you can select "manual" for leveling. Can't have it both ways! My Fleetwood Discovery was just the opposite. . .use "Auto" then fine tune with "manual." Really frustrating is the well known fact, PowerGear will not entertain any calls from the consumer for assistance. . .
Perhaps this is an installation / set up issue from time of manufacture by Winnebago.
Thanks for your input. . .
