FRONT LEVELER LEAKING
I had my front actuator replaced at FMC rally in Madison- $175.00 A hydraulic shop could do the repairs cheaper.

I'm experiencing the same with my HWH levelers as Jamie. We have the same
model and year. Coincidentally, earlier today I stopped in at United RV in
Fort Worth to check on repair costs. I believe they are the only authorized
HWH service center in this part of Texas.

Labor cost per jack was estimated at $500, with any unusual circumstance and
parts extra. They also cautioned that the pistons of a 21-year-old coach
could easily be scored or pitted to the point that a new jack would be
required.

I'm not sure what average labor rates are but United gets $120, and for that
kind I think I'll pull mine off to save the R&R labor and just have them do
the rebuild. Either that or just plan a trip to Moscow, IA next summer.
