1st), The electric Atwood levelers are now micro-processor based. I believe they came out around 202 ish. This seem to have fix the earlier problems of the weld breaking. Especially since you CANNOT over Extend the Jack-screw nor will ram home and hit the plate. Some of my friends who have the earlier version believe it was a load issue. The higher load better weld job and bigger mounting plates. Lets not forget the electronic control pad.
The HWH Hydrauic system which is on my coach has there own issues, some of which are leaking seals, breaking lines, solenoids, control pads.
All levelers will have issues some time in the life of the RV. You have to learn how to overcome the problems and being able to fix it or troubleshoot on the road. Best information I could give is . Learn your RV, be able to troubleshoot the basic systems.
