Hello Group!

I'm working with a friend who recently purchased a '79 FC 33' Wanderlodge. This past weekend, we installed a brand new Norcold refrigerator to replace the old Dometic RM100 which had a blown cooling unit. Installing the refrigerator required some modifications to the cabinet opening and running a new wiring harness along the frame rail to the battery bank for 12 VDC. I also fabricated a new LP line to the refrigerator. Everything should work fine now except that we need to level the coach in order to test the refrigerator. Here's the problem:

When we attempted to level the coach, two of the four jacks did not deploy at all. One came down already partly extended and ended up jambed onto the pavement. The other one leaked hydraulic fluid all over the ground. I was able to disconnect the hydraulic fittings at the jack that was wedged on the ground and get it to retract. The lift piston is still extended.

It is clear that the HWH leveling system will need to be overhauled and serviced. The problem is that I can't find the pump and reservoir. I can hear it running but I can't find it. My biggest fear is that it is stowed above the waste tanks. We have nothing in the paper package we have found so far that tells us where BlueBird hid that pump. Any help in locating it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Bruce (for Tom, the owner)
