HWH Leveling system HELP
« on: September 16, 2016, 02:38:32 PM »
We have a HWH COMPUTER-CONTROLLED 2000 SERIES LEVELING SYSTEM Air only in an '05 Beaver Monterey. The system levels properly and rides fin. However, through the night the system leans dramatically to the extension side (road side). Any thoughts on corrections?

Jeff,
Is your electric compressor for your air leveling system operable, and are you leaving the air leveling system turned on after leveling?

If you have the system on automatic level and hear the compressor at least occasionally, but still wake up to the lean, then you must have a substantial air leak.  I would think you'd hear the compressor (curbside front near the steps) run unusually often trying to catch up, perhaps constantly since it obviously can't keep up.

If you can get to a facility with a service pit, that's often a good way to safely get access under the coach to see if the leak can be located. 

These leaks are often fickle.  We had a similar one last fall, and between Henderson's and BCS tweaking many suspicious spots, it wasn't resolved.  But it hasn't leaked an iota during this year's travels.

Jeff,
If you are leaving the air leveling on automatic, and you hear the leveling system compressor running, either the compressor is defective and not supplying an adequate compressed air volume, the air leveling system controller is not activating the compressor when needed, or there is a substantial suspension leak.

You should be able to determine which problem you have by looking at the pressure gauge and listening to the compressor. With a few careful observations the problem should become obvious, and then some careful troubleshooting should get you on the way to a repair.
