I found this interesting: It is sort of thing I don't expect.

I bought the barth in Sept and during my check the HWH leveling jacks went part way down and then just stopped, but the pump was running.

The next day I came back and they fixed it, they found a small metal part from the front curtains in the joy stick causing a short. The 200 series have the joy stick on the floor with a small cutout for the level to move front to back and side to side.

OK! But then a few weeks later the motor burned up on the jacks and was replaced in Georgia, I thought the first guy gave me a bunch of hokie and the problem all along was a failing motor.

Then last week the leveling jack pump would start running as soon as the "on" switch was pushed, but no jacks would extend.

A few guys did not want to look at it in Vegas and Apache Junction. However I was in Lake Havasu and HWH has a service center there, 3 T's.

On Tuesday I brought the Barth in to see them, they said go have breakfast at peggy's down the street. Ok, I ordered the waffles and before I could get them buttered the phone rang telling me it was all finished and I can pick it up.

Gee!

They found a small metal ring from the curtains in the joy stick causing a short.......

Now how many little rings fall off the curtain, and the hole is only about an inch square.... twice in 3 months....... Go figure.

1/2 hour charge for $45 and I was on my way.

Curtains Again!
