Thanks for all the input fellas. I took the afternoon off work today as more rain is headed our way tomorrow. I did some more digging around the levelers and actually had to dig a trench to get under the coach. I cleaned the hydralic shaft with silicone, then went thru the emergency retract procedure by taking off the emergency brake, starting the motor, and taking it out of park. The control panel reacted with a warning, as it is supposed to, but unfortunately they did not retract. And, btw, i was able to id the fuse and it was ok. So, just as someome mentioned, which i just now saw, i loosened the nut on the hydralic line, and the spring pulled up the leveler. Thats a good trick to have up your sleeve.
Once the levelers were up, i called AAA. And btw, my good sam tow service would not come out bc they said there was liability for them to enter private property. They did suggest that i submit any payment to a third party for reimbursmsnt. AAA was there in 30 minutes with a big diesel tow truck. The driver assured me he could winch me out. I was worried that my back levelers, while fully retracted, would get damaged as they were still 6" below the ground level. The driver assured me that as he winched, the rear tires would rise and the leveler would clear. This guy was a pro and everything worked out perfectly. I need to take the rig into a service center to have the leveler system issue corrected. AAA rocks.
Thanks again fellas for the suggestions..
