Four Winds Windsport 31D Hydraulic Problems
I purchased a new 2011 Windsport 31D in July 2010 and encountered low voltage problems with my Lippert leveling system. On May 9, 2013, my hydraulic pump burned up. Thor tech Support told me to locate the bus breaker on my firewall but here was none. Lippert walked me through to the pump and battery house where we learned that when the MH was manufactured Thor did not put a bus breaker in line and instead of wiring the pump to the chassis motor they wired it to the house batteries. Thor claims no responsibility saying they have wired thousands this way with no complaints and refuse to reimbursement for correcting the problem. I put in a new pump/motor, pressure sensor, bus breaker and wired the system to my chassis battery - guess what? No more low voltage and the system is working exactly as Lippert said it was designed to.
Seeking other Windsport owners to check their hydraulic wiring to insure a bus breaker is in line between the pump and the battery so the same thing won't happen to you.
Seeking other Windsport owners who have been experiencing similar problems with their hydraulic leveling system as Thor said I'm the only one who has ever complained.
