We have a 2003 Winnebago Sightseer 30'. It is new to us and it is our first MH. We have purchased a EW and first time out The panel for the Hydrolic Jacks did intermittent beeping. Ext Warranty replaced the "computer panel" but now it beeps ALL the time and it's even louder than before. I have checked the fluid levels and it is fine.

Anyone have any ideas? Wonder if I could just disconnent the darn thing.

Been tempted to do that with my Power Gear jacks

Do not know your system but try this. Check the level of the fluid in the jack reservoir On POWER GEAR jacks that d** Jack Down alarm is really a "Low fluid" alarm

A little more info please. Does it beep with the jacks up? Is the parking brake set? Do you have any indicator lights on the Jack panel? I don't mean to be condescending but in the down position and with the ignition on they beep as a warning that the jacks are deployed. The beeping stops when you turn off the ignition.
I have found the folks at Kwikee to very helpful and will walk you through most problems.

This is occuring when I have lifted the jacks up and begin driving down the road. I have checked the fluid level and it is fine. I have also tried setting the jacks down and back up again to try to re-set it, but that doesn't work either.

When driving down the road it starts beeping and the panel light (warning light) turns red. I pull over just to double check that the jacks are up and they are all up.

As I stated it was assumed it was the power panel and that was replaced, it used to just stop and start beeping intermittently as I was going down the road, now it beeps all the time.

I am not sure what is going on, guess I will just take it back to Camping World (who replaced the panel) and try again. All I can say is, it is impossible to enjoy your drive with a beeping (loud) going on non-stop. Just thought maybe someone else out there had this experience as well. I tried to call Kwikee but could never get through.

Thanks for your responses.

Well the only other thing I can think of, (and this is a real stretch) is a problem with the autopark sensor. But that is only on the workhorse chassis and I've never heard of it causing this particular problem. Regrettably it sounds like you may be heading back to CW. (You can come out to GNR and have Winnie look at it
