PROJECT UPDATE Atwood Levelegs Controller location?

I have,seen them buried in the closet

The Atwood Levelegs controller on our 2006 Bounder was located under the dash on the side wall, close to the control panel. Not hard to get to. Our controller was obsolete and could not find a replacement.We even sent it to a place that repairs electronics, unrepairable. No help from Atwood or Lippert. hope you have better luck. We are going to install a Big Foot system.

yeah, i can pay $4500 for the "upgrade kit" installed by the stealership....but, I'm just going to go manual with a Gama Electronics 4 channel remote control switch...and plan to install a temporary switch for the air dump bags while I'm at it.

if only i could find the **** thing

Should be mounted in the front outside drivers side Storage in front of the LF tire on the Ceiling of the storage compartment. Hopefully you do not need a new controller as LCI/Atwood no longer have them. Doug

On my Bounder its on the ceiling, right side forward compartment.
I have the out of production power gear elec system....laughingly now supported by Lippert.
I've put 12v to ea jack and they work fine up & down. After many shop visits and troubleshooting Lippert's recommended solution is to replace 2 of the 4 jacks ($2400). Even though the existing jacks test good and go & down with 12v applied directly....they couldn't explain why new jacks would fix the problem!
So I am going to the wiring diagram, install 4 three-way switches and by pass all the controller wiring.

looked in that bay twice....never thought to look UP!!!!
Will check

Yeah, was told the controller is bad by my local dealer. The retrofit kit from Atwood they say would be like $4500 installed, apparently comes with new jacks.
I paid $1600 for a new rear jack WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM per dealer but didn't...far as that jack goes I knew it was bad,,,on an ALL RETRACT move last year that jack stayed extended then it collapsed suddenly before i could get the pad to extend the other jacks....so, I needed rebuilt or replace (i just went with new, was $1100 to do myself and i like doing a lot myself but felt that was $500 well spent considering the tenuous airbag situation with faulty levelers being tied together not to mention my lack of a pit to work in)

Want to swap out a manual 4 way switch by GAMA and install a temporary switch to dump air too while at it. Good buddy of mine is an electrician who is going to help me out.

Thats what Im going to do.
Check out GAMA ELECTRONICS
They have some awesome remote control operated switches that would work for your application.
For about $200 total I will have one 4 motor polarity reversing RF remote controlled operated switch and a single temporary one for the air dump feature.

For what it's worth, we had Tiffin upgrade our system to the new one three years ago for about 2,300 including labor. However, I don't believe any of the Atwood Levelegs components are available from Lippert anymore, new or old systems - they have completely quit supporting them.

yeah, my local dealer prices are insane.
for 2 chassis batteries and 4 house batteries wanted $1800.
I just did them today myself for $700, replacing them with exactly the same size and CCC/Ah rated batteries.

Thanks Doug.
Is there indeed.
