Remove Leveling Jacks?

Good day to all !


My 2004 Itasca Sunrise has a bad HWH leveling board, and 2 bad Jacks. HWH no longer sells the board, and the replacement board is also discontinued. I am considering just removing all the jacks and hoses, then level with blocks/boards and use scissor jacks to stabilize. couple of questions. 1. Will this cause alarms inside the cab with the "Jacks Down" light/alarm. 2. Are there other affordable solutions? 3.will this affect the Slide function as they are also hydraulic?



Thanks for you time and thoughts.

examine the board very closely and look for cracks in the solder runs, that is a big problem with most of them. I have a motorcycle that has a on board air system and it would not work. Looked and the runs were cracked, fixed it by running 22 gauge wire to the ends of the runs and it works now. Our electronics shop had folks that would clean off the runs and re-solder them. So take time and use a magnifier to check 1st.

Have you contacted Stuart's Services in Elkhart IN. yet? They are the largest HWH service center outside the HWH factory.
If you remove the jacks and the associated control boards you slide might be rendered out of action too.
First determine which model HWH leveling system you have; and the model slide system you have, before calling.


And yes, PC boards often may be repaired by a patient knowledgeable person with a steady hand..
