I am having a problem with my HWH levelers in my '78 FC. The left
front one will lift the coach fine, but slowly drops down. There is no
fluid leak, so I assume the valve is not holding properly. Can
individual valves be replaced in the 4 lever control module, or does
the entire module need to be rebuilt/replaced?

HWH services the valve body as a unit.

If you are doing the work yourself....I just replaced one of my "Kick Down" cylinders (the small hydraulic cylinder on the side) a couple of months ago. HWH has a website, I e-mailed them and they had a technician call me. We chatted and I ordered a new cylinder. $230 ifI remember right. The do not offer repair parts. Itsounds as if that would not be an option for you if the cylinder broke in half. The new cylinder comes complete with O-rings and new interface parts. The new cylinder will include a spring and valve that your old one did not have. It installs in one of the crossover pieces. Ask them to includeextraO-rings asyou may need them when reinstalling.

I replaced an entire jack on my old FC with a rebuilt unit from HWH,
and I want to say I remember it not costing much more than the $230
mentioned here for the part, might just want to replace the whole
unit. It is an easy swap.
