RV particulars: 1997 Gulfstream Scenic Cruiser
Driveline Cummins 8.3, Allison 6 speed
Miles: 42,000
Year: 1997
Break down Description: Big Foot levelers acting erratic.
Symptoms: RR leveler would run on after it was retracted. LF and LR would continue to extend after I would stop extending on the control panel.
Effect: I manually tripped the 120 amp circuit breaker in the battery compartment and parked as level as I could for the last part of the trip.
Cause: Solenoids sticking on.
Remedy: I made a call to Quadra Manufacturing for some info and the tech was very helpful. He suggested I change the solenoids on the three levelers that were malfunctioning. I couldn’t find the exact replacement solenoids. I eventually found an after market solenoid from “Stens”. The terminals were 90 degrees offset from the original part, so I had to drill a new hole and resize the buss bar that connects the two solenoids on each leveler. It took about an hour for the first one and half that for the next two. It’s good to level again.
