HWH leveling
I have a 2011 Winnebago Vista that has HWH leveling. I have always had problems with the rear jacks not retracing all the way. This last trip I had to help them up. Any suggestions?

There is a "service tip" about this on the Winnebago website and it involves, believe it or not, a simple fix with WD-40. Go to the main Winnebago site, click "Resources", then "Service", then "Service Tips" and scroll down to the one called "2010-08 Care of HWH Jacks."
Last fall we had a rear jack that was taking nearly 10 minutes to retract in cold weather. We did the WD-40 treatment and it has worked fine ever since.
That tip is for kick down jacks and PROPERLY functioning HWH jacks NEVER need maintenance other than making sure there is no debris mud on the silver piston. WD 40 is NOT recommended at all. The HWH jack pistons are IMMERSED in ATF when retracted. The OP's problem is indeed defective internal seals. ANY HWH jack exhibiting this problem is replaced by HWH under warranty by HWH, they NEVER state to lube the jack and go on because HWH does know that the problem is a defective internal seal. Doug
