Hydraulic Leveler Crisis...

[Curt Sprenger]

Andy,

I've been to the HWH factor in Moscow, Iowa. If you come away disappointed
I'd be surprised. Even hooked up to their elec. for a nights stay.

Yes, good thought having HWH check out your entire leveling system.

Be sure to let them buy you lunch. When I was there in 2005, all I had to do
was be in the customers lounge at 12:00...great lunch. And you must take the
pie and ice cream with the lunch. They insist.

HWH is truly the best experience for service and repairs that I have ever
experienced.

Enjoy.
