Transmission dipstick
I have a 1998 Winnebago Brave with a 7.5L V-8 (Ford F-53). The transmission dipstick has come up missing. According to Ford, the part is obsolete and unavailable from them. I am open to any tips or ideas as to how to find one, or make one, if I knew the exact length. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all the feedback. I've actually been operating this system full-time for 8 years, so I know how to operate it. My understanding is that there is only one solenoid for the front two jacks, so if one is releasing properly, the solenoid is working. This isn't a weak spring issue. The right front jack was not releasing. It is most likely bent, from being overextended, in the Florida Keys, under extremely windy conditions. I got it to release by putting a jack stand under the axle on the front left side, distributing the weight more evenly. I was hoping to here a valve was stuck on that side, but I am afraid it is bent. My fault. I'll never over half way again. By the way, the HWH website recommends WD40 to lubricate the shaft. Again, thanks for all the feedback.265Views0likes0CommentsHWH leveling jack won't go up
I have a '98 Winnebago Brave w/ HWH leveling jacks. Three days ago, my right front jack didn't raise with the left. They were both extended just about all the way. I eventually get it to go up, but I want some direction as to how to proceed to get it repaired. Thank you.7.8KViews0likes26Commentsfiberglass roof leak
I have a '98 Winnebago Brave with what I assume to be a fiberglass roof. I seem to be accumulating moisture in the left rear corner and in the right side cabinet just in front of the door. I am looking for advice as to how to seal these leaks and maintain my 15 year old roof. I looked at the EPDM rubber coating website, but I can't see pulling my AC units to follow their instructions perfectly. Any suggestions as to what product to use or what procedure to take would be appreciated.3.6KViews0likes11Comments
