How do you check the level of you hydraulic fluid? Is there a light that tell you if you are low or do you have to alway open the compartment door and look at the container that hold the oil? I don't see a stick that you check the level. Thank you

Hi, My life, how is all that smoke around you. you need to drive your Hurricane up to north GA perfect outside camping weather bring your chairs and marshmellows
About your HWH levelers . Sorry can't help you there.
I never like them leaking and rusting springs and always having problems hanging up in my other M/H.

I just when ahead with the BIG FOOT by Quadra. drive over to Tampa, FL and get rid of those HWH and get these fully automatic with the 21 inch legs extension with each pump for each corners and big pads 14 x 14 .
best money I have spent . And when you trade up to a never unit for a couple of labor hours they will remove them and put them on your never unit. Just labor . these come with 5 years warranty. So that way when you do order your new unit have it order without the levelers.
I get lots of emails about my setup with the BIG FOOT . just got back from up in the mountains and all the campers with motorhomes and even 5 wheels owners wanted to know where to get these .
I hope you have better luck with your levelers then the big problems I had with them HWH .

The tech said to plug in the RV to the house 2 days before going on the road so that the RV house batteries would charge up and be ready for the trip.
