HWH Air Leveling
For any of you who have installed the HWH Air Leveling system, was it worth it? Would you do it again? We have a 2015 Dutchstar and are considering having it installed. It is pricey but if it works as advertised it sounds like it would really improve the ride as well as making overnight leveling quicker and easier. Thanks for any feedback.

Yes it was worth it and yes I would do it again.
Except: I would make it active air this time.
I love being able to always be level no matter the surface, or temp (we use our coach well below zero).

Ours has the HWH air leveling as standard but not the Active Air. I like the system and would like the Active Air setup even better!

Dave,
I had HWH Active Air and Air Leveling added to my coach a few months ago. I couldn't be happier with it. Here is the link to the thread I posted about my experience.

They remove your existing control panel and replace it with a new one, enabling the control of both hydrallic and air leveling in the same panel. THey will modify the existing cutout to accommodate the new panel. The new panel will have a combination of push buttons and an LCD screen. I am currently away from my coach, or I would post a picture.

Thank if you get a chance to do that a some point I would appreciate it. We are pretty sold on doing this as the Dutch Star will likely be our last coach so why not!

I found this image on the internet. It is an accurate depiction.

Success, I have my appointment for October 24th to have the Active Air installed. Really looking forward to seeing the impact on the ride of my Dutchstar, not that it isn't pretty good already. Going to be a solo trip since my wife can't go, will have to find something to occupy my time for the week! Anyone have any insight on things to see or do in the area? Many restaurants around?

Neighboring town of Tipton has a decent family restaurant with mostly comfort food on the menu. Can't recall the name of it but it was on a corner on the main drag. HWH employees can point you the way.

15 yr old HWH air leveling system factory installed option on my old Dynasty...works like a charm! Dump to bump stops and hit auto level.

They determined my exact ride height measurements on site, along with a multitude of other measurements and weights.
