Last week I wrote about having a problem with the HWH levelers that would not retract...we have been parked at a different location for a week...the levelers went down when we got here, but tonight I attempted to raise the levelers...they would not retract...bled the pressure off the hydraulic lines and they retracted...will take it to the shop when I get home...thanks for all the suggestions on how to take care of the problem..guess the valves in the manifold are shot...the t-handle relief did not work again...oh the life of an RVer....

What is model of your system? This may help!HWH

No, your valves are fine, DO WHAT I TOLD YOU. Replace the shuttle valve. Doug

I'm assuming the parking brake was on and the transmission was in natural. At this point, I'd suggest checking the relay. My relay was in the electrical bay and would occasionally stick before being replaced. Finally, check the ground wire to the chassis from the pump. Just take it off, clean it up and reattached it.

I called HWH..and you know what the answer was...the Operator didn't even try to put me thru to a tech...she said they were a couple of weeks behind in answering the questions submitted over the phone...Great service HuH?and thanks to Doug...will see if I can find one....

Same thing happened to me. It turned out to be a bad ground. Make sure you have a good ground to the frame and the nut at the post where all ground wires connect is tight.

doug did the first diagnosis and was absolutely right, i just recommended the same. if the op had used the manual, it would have confirmed the same.
just saying it best to have a service manual.

If you have HWH, to BEND a cylinder, meant you had to do something drastically wrong. Now, RVA cylinders are Aluminum and can bend easier. Doug

So, does it make sense to buy a shuttle valve and have it on board should a failure occur? Sounds like something all HWH owners should do. I haven't looked yet, what's the cost of the valve?

No, HWH had a few 10 years ago or so that did fail, but they rarely fail. I have not had a Shuttle valve fail on units built in the past 5 to 6 years or so. Doug
