hi all,
for those of us with hwh hydraulic slides it is becoming very clear that the old guard at newell that understood and fixed them is fading quickly. that makes it even more important for us to help each other and document and post our fixes and experiences with them.
i have spent alot of time talking to folks about issues and some have said that newell has told them they cannot help them with their hwh problems.
i know that richard has spent even more time than i as well as glen and others.
top it off with the fact that hwh in iowa has a rather unusual phone support system that makes it challenging to get timely help. in addition, newell did some of their own modifications to the hwh setup so hwh is not always able to help.
i have done a handful of slide seals at my place on my own coach and others. i have a rather nice slide cart to take the flat floor slides out for replacing the seal. i am not always available but am usually willing to help with it if you are near az. the only cost is your blood sweat and tears and keeping me laughing.
all that said, please take the time to document whatever issues you have so that we can help each other as the support for our older systems slowly fades into the sunset.
lets keep helping each other. i am proud to be associated with all of you
