RV Hydraulics – jacks and slides
The motorhome has been to the shop for lube-oil-filter and general maintenance check… AND for the hydraulic failure experienced on the way home from Colorado. Shop, in tandem with HWH (hydraulics mfg) believe the problem is a bad pump and a new one is on it’s way from Iowa – scheduled to be installed on Mon, 7/30. Too bad it wasn’t a fuse… But, I want to document the fuse locations – for RV friends the Smith’s also Adventurer owners and an ORS member with a similar Winnebago hydraulic system.
Some photos of the hydraulic pump/motor, inline fuses and what I think is the hydraulic fuse box (this post to document locations of fuses and hydraulics for jacks and slides):
Pump – looking down into the engine compartment, just to the passenger side of the middle, right against the front grille.
Above – the elusive inline fuses – circled with white…. These were “buried” in amongst the wiring for the slide-out solenoids and jack valves. I started tracing wires away from the pump to find them – once I had the description of what to look for. You can hopefully see the fuse I’m holding – I have the cap back to expose the actual fuse – others have their caps on. The photo is taken from underneath – I’m on the ground looking up into the engine compartment at the underside of the hydraulic pump.
Above – looking in from the driver door under the steering column – behind the carpeted “board” is where the Above right “box” is.
You can just see part of the HWH (hydraulics mfg).
Taking back the Front Porch
By popular demand…the outfit….
Day 2 was much less stressful – it was cooler by 10 degrees and my anxiety level was less due to the success of day 1 – there were no visible wasps – a second dose of the foamy spray, knocked down the remaining 2 nests and done. I did do another walk around and found one mini-nest – stragglers from yesterday rebuilding??? Not sure but I will have to keep a watch.
Last night I went out with a glass of ginger ale spiked with maraschino cherries – all quiet… spritzed some fresh hair spray – still quiet. We’ll see – hard to believe there aren’t some colonies in one of the wood piles but maybe reducing the population on the house will do the trick.
At the moment, the front porch is ours!
