Levelers

We just returned home from a trip. Parked Class A ace and levelers down. However, not balanced in driveway. We tried to retract levelers and they won't come up. Tried turning generator on to see if that would help as someone had suggested that on a forum. Well, generator won't come on either. I'm not sure where breaker is for leveler. Any suggesting would be most helpful.

On my 2015 Hurricane there are two breakers in the battery compartment. I think one of them has a little red paddle and the other is yellow but I don't remember for sure. I have tripped them when trying to get the coach level in a not so level site.



If your ginny won't start, are your batteries charged up? Is your engine running when using the levelers? My engine needs to be running with the emergency brake on.

Get the Coach batteries on a charger overnight, and see if that makes a difference.
Good luck!

I don't know what that means.

The generator and levelers hydraulic motor are both powered from the house batteries through a 100 Amp DC breaker in the house battery area.

So either that breaker is tripped, or your house batteries are dead.

Status of your USE/STORE switch?
Plugged into SP or not? Probably not since you tried to start the generator.

To operate the levelers the MH engine should be running and the parking brake set.

What I meant is the coach isn't on a level ground. I'm so confused right now, but I think you are on the right track for me.

If the coach is plugged into s/p should my disconnect be on or off? We usually leave it on.

I really think it's a breaker but I can't seem to find it in the coach battery department. My husband literally parked the coach and put the levelers down and I told him he needed to move it over because it wasn't on level ground in our driveway. It would not retract.

I've tried troubleshooting all day. I'm really frustrated. I appreciate all the help.

If you're plugged in to shore power: set the switch to "On".

Thank you Bob for clarifying that for me. That's what we've been doing. I'm going to look for the breaker again tomorrow!
