The first thing I would check is the fluid level in the reservoir. I don't know what type system you coach uses but I have heard this is the first thing to check on HWH systems.
Good Luck

One thing to remember. Check the fluid level with the jacks fully retracted. When you fill it up, remember to have the jacks fully retracted then too.

I believe it is a Power Gear system and that will happen if the fluid is low. It thinks the jacks are down because the jack-down sensor is a float switch in the hydraulic reservoir.
Check the fluid with the jacks raised. Never add fluid with the jacks down.

My Power Gear system was doing the same thing except once the buzzer started during a trip it wouldn't stop until I stopped and shut down. I called Power Gear tech support and they said if filling didn't fix it then it would cost me over $100 for a new sensor, or I could just disconnect the sensor at the reservoir. I did just that over 3 years ago and eliminated the annoying buzzer--no other problems since. I don't forget to raise the jacks before leaving on a trip!

Take caution if you add fluid to the reservoir. If you over fill it the jacks will not retract fully. Read your manual before adding fluid.
