Hi there!!
I'm really hoping that there is somebody on here that can help us out.
For the life of me, I cannot find the reservoir for the leveling jack fluid on our MH.
I see the big 'box'...control panel (?) under the front driver side slide, but don't see a dipstick (unless my DH is out there with me :W..lol.. I had to)
I have no idea as to how one would get to it with the slide closed if this is the correct thing to be looking at.
I can't find a darn thing on YouTube...next thought is to try to find one at a dealer and go have them show us!
Can anyone help?
Thank you!!!

Good gravy! I think I've figured it out!!
Can somebody please tell me if this is where we would check the fluid? Can't get the burger to turn and open to see if there's a dipstick on the other end (besides the one on this end trying to open it....) and I don't want to push my luck in case it's the wrong thing :h

How do I post a picture on here? I would like to post a picture of what I see and believe to be the reservoir, but I'm not sure if it is or not

23hotrodr- This is one I'm going to check out as soon as we get home! That would make sense as, for the life of me, I cannot figure out HOW in the world one would get to it with the slides closed.
Thank you all for your help!!!

x2 Hank MI. I just open my front hood and look straight down. It's just a little left of center (toward passenger side), solenoids and fluid reservoir.

In our 2003 Adventurer it's in front of the engine towards the passenger side. Has a screw off cap on the top of the tank. As mentioned make sure jacks are up and slides in before adding any fluid.

If I remember correctly on our 37B Suncruiser it was in front of the engine on the right side.

I use a syringe with plastic clear tube from parts house. It is cleaner and easier to fill reservoir.

Mine is also right behind the drivers side door.

The hydraulic tank is right where all the pump noise is when you operate the jacks and slides. On our 2007 Suncruiser, it is just forward of the front room slide on the driver side. The jacks must be up and the slides in to check the fluid level. It is a bit awkward to get to the dipstick and fill hole, but can be done.

Open the front compartment door on the driver side just behind the front tire. There is an open space above the top of the compartment and the floor of the MH. Reach in and toward the front of the MH and you will find the tank, solenoids, and other HWH stuff. On the top of the tank is a hex shaped cap that is the vent cap and dipstick. It is not very large in diameter. Blow off the top of the tank and wipe it off before removing the dipstick/breather cap. The fluid level is correct when it just barely touches the bottom of the dipstick when fully installed. It is awkward to add fluid, and I use a small funnel and add fluid slowly and checking often.

Good luck-- Mick
