We have both systems by power gear. The slideout system is OK, but the Jacks are a lot of trouble. The main board failed within six months. The pads are bent, and I have to run the oil reservoir full to the top to keep the alarm from sounding. Powergear uses a level sensor to determine if the jacks are down. If you fill it to the level they say, and it gets cold and the level shrinks a little you get a "Jacks Down "alarm while driving. It goes away when it warms up. I have a 2000 and they did not have a rebuild kit until 2004. The first system did not have wipers on the cylinders to keep them clean, the kits do. Repairs can be very expensive. I had HWH on my other MH, and all I can say is " I want my HWH back". Fleetwood American Coach has now changed to another manufacturer, but they went to more problems. Don't know why they don't go to a proven product.
