While we were using the leveling system last Friday the generator went off and then the levelers stopped declining. We had no power--no house battery or ability to have electric as we were plugged in. Found the source of that problem--a circuit breaker went off.
Tried the levelers again and they wouldn't go down but at least the system didn't shut the circuit breaker again.
Today when arriving home we tried. This time they didn't turn the circuit breaker off and they tried to go down but it was VERY VERY slow with a clicking sound.

Any ideas what might be going on? Jeffrey is thinking maybe hydraulic pump because 12 Volt breaker tripped.

Thanks!

Sounds like the batteries are not fully charged. Have you checked the water level in them. ONLY use distilled water to add to them.

Rex,

Thank you for your suggestion. Jeffrey checks those batteries every month.
We took the Coach in to Robert Crist and they have no idea why the problem exists. Will run diagnostics and see what they can determine.
Thanks again for the response.
