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).
