Kirk W Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Welcome to the Escapee forums. Sorry that it took some problems to bring you here, but we will do all that we can to help. My first suggestion would be to call a mobile RV tech, if one is available. I don't have a lot of HWH experience, but have worked on a few of them and all that I am familiar with were fused. Have you looked for a fuse that may supply the system? You mention that it is an HWH leveling system and I wonder if you have any power to raise the leveling jacks? In most HWH systems the same hydraulic pump supplies the jacks as the slide mechanism. If you were to share your location with us, it may be that one of the more experienced members of the forum could be nearby and able to help.

Hi Lady, sorry to hear of your troubles, that sort of "goes with the territory" especially the more bells and whistles an RV has grrrrrrrrrrrr Since you mention there is "no power" that could (cross your fingers) be as simple as a blown fuse, or a tripped DC circuit breaker. If you know the location where there may be DC system fuses or circuit breakers take a look for any obvious problems. If you're inexperienced a blown fuse may be hard to detect (may take a meter) while a tripped circuit breaker (if that's what you have ?? I more often see fuses) might be noticeable. Loose or open wires or connections are another possibility. Does it matter if you're plugged to the RV shore power or not?? Do you know if your RV house battery bank is okay ??? Are all other 12 Volt appliances and lights and systems working okay ??? Sorry this is too wide open of a question and not being there and not having any wiring diagrams makes it hard to solve over the internet but if you can determine where there may be fuses or DC circuit breakers at least take a look, you might just luck out??? Best wishes and God Bless John T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a manual by pass retraction system that can do the trick so USE CAUTION. PS if anyone has a manual, diagram, or troubleshooting and experience with your system do as they might suggest NOT ME lol Good Luck John T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldjohnt Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Lady, PS in case you don't already have one, I found this "Emergency Manual Operation" regarding Slide Outs and other information on the HWH Website, but you said HMW ??? Heritage Metal Works ??? http://hwhcorp.com/ml44100bx_so.html#_OPERATION_INFORMATION_%E2%80%93 It (iffffff that's what you have???) has several troubleshooting and flow charts that may or may not help, take a look see...

pjstough Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Call Paul Maddox at 602-549-3638. He does troubleshooting for HWH. If he doesnt answer, leave a message. He will get back to you as quickly as he can. He posts his information on another RV forum, so not problem posting it here. Good luck Quote 2005 Winnebago Voyage 38J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
