I had my 2001 Beaver coach that had an SMC hydraulic leveling system converted over to an air leveling system three years ago at the HWH factory in Moscow, Iowa. I had a hydraulic jack that was leaking internally and couldn't find anywhere to be able to rebuild the jack. I drove the coach to Iowa from Florida in July for a three day conversion. They removed the hydraulic jacks(these were jacks that leveled on top of the axel not the ground)and capped off the lines. My living room slide still uses the hydraulic pump to open and close the slide out. Then they installed another air compressor, control panel, air lines and fittings and custom made the wiring harnesses and installed to all the airbags. This was a 2 1/2 day custom job. Even the shop electrical and mechanical engineers were involved. It was a $4900 job.
