99 Beaver Thunder... Where do I fill hydraulic fluid for levelers?
Anyone help me figure out where I add atf for my levelers? I did find a small plug on 1 of the rear levelers. Is this it?

What brand leveling system do you have? Unless they have individual elevtric motors there will be a reservoir and pump.

Try looking under the right front of the coach just under the steps. That is where my coach hydraulic reservoir is located. Operates my slide and jacks

Another place to look is passenger side rear, if you have someone hit leveler switch follow the noise, reservoir tank is attached to rear of pump motor, fill is on top of reservoir tank. To fill extend one jack approx. 6", leave ignition on with alarm dinging, add fluid until alarm quits, you are now full.

Really ? that's the procedure on yours ?
since a mobile tech ruined my elec hyd motor by overfilling, I have always been told to have slides IN and jacks UP before adding fluid...

I should have said slides in if they are on same system, book says to lower one jack approx. 6 inches and let alarm sound, it will stop when full and keeps you from over filling.

If OP has the system where you drop jack a few inches then fill it until the "Bong alarm" goes off, and he needs fluid now, then he should be hearing the alarm now. If he is not hearing the alarm (and is actually is low on fluid) then he has a different system or he has something else to fix (i.e. the alarm is broken).
