HWH hydraulic leveling and slide systems are common in larger Class A motorhomes. The HWH system uses a single electric pump to pressurize a hydraulic system that operates both leveling jacks and slide-outs. When the pump fails, both slides and jacks stop working simultaneously - the defining symptom that distinguishes pump failure from other HWH faults.

HWH systems are known for longevity when properly maintained. Coaches with HWH systems and 100,000+ miles are common, and the systems often outlast the coach when fluid is maintained. Neglected fluid maintenance is the primary cause of premature pump and valve failures.

HWH System Failure Modes

Pump won't run - motor, relay, or power supply failure
Pump runs but no pressure - pump wear or internal bypass valve failure
Jacks slow but slides normal (or vice versa) - individual section valve failure
Hydraulic fluid leak - hose fittings, cylinder seals, or pump housing
Jacks won't hold position - internal valve leak
System cycles (pump runs repeatedly without load) - external leak or internal bypass

HWH Service and Fluid Maintenance

Annual HWH fluid service includes checking the reservoir level, draining and replacing the hydraulic fluid (ATF Type F), replacing the suction screen filter, and bleeding air from the system. Old fluid turns dark and acidic, causing pump wear and valve corrosion. We've seen HWH pumps last over 20 years with proper maintenance and fail within 5 years without it.

FAQ

Common Questions

How do I know if my HWH pump is failing?

Slow leveling and slide operation that gets gradually worse over months is the classic sign. A pump that makes an unusually loud or strained sound during operation is working harder than normal - often from old fluid or internal wear. Annual service keeps HWH pumps healthy.

Can HWH hydraulic cylinders be resealed?

Yes. HWH cylinders can be rebuilt with new seals in most cases, at significantly lower cost than replacement cylinders. We can rebuild standard HWH cylinders in-shop or source rebuilt exchange cylinders.

What hydraulic fluid does the HWH system use?

HWH specifies ATF Type F (Ford Type F automatic transmission fluid), not Dexron. Using the wrong fluid type degrades the internal seals over time. Check the HWH reservoir cap - it should specify the correct fluid.

Is HWH still making parts for older systems?

Yes. HWH (now part of Lippert) still manufactures replacement parts for most of their historical system configurations. Parts availability is excellent compared to some other hydraulic system manufacturers.
