Jerry,

Thank you for doing that post. It looks like a set of manual switches to run the solenoid valves and pump. Very simple and pretty fool proof from what I can see.

Thanks Ed

Dick,

With the manual panel you should not have any real control panel issues from what I can tell. The pump seems to be a serviceable item. As long as the cylinders hold up you should be good to go. There is a good chance the cylinders will last for a good long time if one has not failed yet.  If a cylinder failed on mine I would probably have air leveling installed so that is the expense downside. To spend $1500 to $2500 to get a cylinder replaced or repaired seems like money not well spent at this stage of the game. Just my opinion...

Later Ed

Jerry:  I read about you having Nandy changing you over too manual.  I  recenty contacted him about doing my 2001 Marquis Emerald. I  am going to Florida 12-8-15 to try and get it done. Do you remember what he charged you ?  He would not give me a ballpark figure. Thanks Joe Westbrook

Joe, he did mine when he worked for Orlando RV as part of the deal when I bought it.  I know he spent a lot of time on it but he did very neat work and made sure I had the schematics I posted before.  Seems like a good guy but I don't know him well.  I was impressed because of all the issues I had seen on this forum with getting the manual system installed.  I wish you luck!

Dick, if you do get that coach and ever have an issue with one of the jacks I have both front ones from my coach(good shape) for sale.

I had them removed when HWH did an air conversion in July 2014.  I sold one good rear one and still have the other leaking rear one........

LaMonte, thanks for the offer.  Yes we did buy the coach and so far the leveling jacks are working quite well.  Took awhile to get used to them but so far so good and I'm even getting to like the frame leveling.  No more punching post holes.
