To verifyyou are choosing the proper Leveling System Replacement Hydraulic Pump:View the sticker on your existing pump and locate the model number (which is also the SKU #).
EQ Systems offers hydraulic lifting & leveling systems for the RV, horse trailer, motorsports, & commercial industries including options for hydraulic landing gear. With EQ Harness we also offer custom wire harnesses.
The slide outs run through a switch that relays the power. When you use this switch, you can push the slide in or out, during normal operation. If the switch doesn’t work, nothing happens when the button is pushed. You also won’t hear the motor or pump run.
A lack of power can affect all parts of the slide out system. Without enough power, you may not be capable of running the pumps, motors or any of the controls.
If you fill-up the hydraulic fluid but it continues to go down, there’s a leak somewhere in the system. Trace all the hydraulic lines, starting at the pump, looking for any fluid that is dripping out. Once you find the leak, you can replace the offending line.
My BIL"s Reflection has electric auto-leveling, our Solitude has hydraulic (which also means the big slides on the Reflection are electric and on the Solitude they are hydraulic). Our previous Reflection was electric "everything" but didn"t have auto-leveling. Now, with all that said: the hydraulic leveling systems are significantly faster and more powerful than the electric. The large hydraulic slides also move in and out much faster and more positively than their electric cousins. I much prefer hydraulic to electric, personally.
It’s obvious why RV slides ‒ also known as slide outs, pop outs or bump outs ‒ would be beneficial additions to any recreational vehicle. Who wouldn’t want more space in their home on wheels, right? But, understanding the differences between the types of slide out mechanisms is just as important so you can design the right RV that meets the needs and wants of your customers. Read on to learn about the differences between electric and hydraulic slides, their pros and cons, and how to prevent damage to moving cables.
Electric slide systems use an electric motor to drive a slide gear or cable, which expands and retracts the slide. They’re typically used on smaller, lighter slides and are less expensive and less complicated than hydraulic systems. They’re also pretty easy to override if something goes wrong. Common issues with electric slides include overloaded motors, the gearbox breaking, and drag during use.
Hydraulic slides are typically used in large, heavy slides that hold things like kitchens and living rooms. Within the system, a motor-driven hydraulic pump uses hydraulic fluid to drive rams that push the slides out and in. The direction is controlled by a combination of valves.
Hydraulic slides move much faster than electric motor driven slides and are less expensive if you have more than one slide out since the system only requires one motor. However, hydraulic slides are much more complex and parts of the system, like the valves, pump and hydraulic line, can fail due to excessive heat or wear.
HWH systems are hydraulic leveling systems produced by HWH Corporation in Moscow, Iowa. An RV industry leader in hydraulic landing gear, HWH makes hydraulic jacks (and slide-out mechanisms) for RVs, horse trailers, and specialty vehicles, among other systems.
From the control panel, you can manually raise/lower each side/end of the RV. Or, if so equipped, you can use the automatic leveling function to engage the system (either a hydraulic system or air system) to level your RV from front to back and side to side.
HWH hydraulic leveling systems use tanks, pumps, hoses, and sensors to raise and lower the RV. HWH air leveling systems use the existing air bags (on an RV with an air suspension, like a diesel pusher) to raise/lower each side/end of the RV.
To accomplish leveling, most of HWH’s hydraulic systems use single-acting cylinders, where the jacks are retracted using springs. But some HWH systems have double-acting cylinders, where the jacks are retracted using hydraulic power.
Depending on the type of leveling (air or hydraulic), the jacks you have, and their mounting height, the typical lift from an HWH system will be between four and six inches.
