GWAR44, I like your headdress- sure to keep out any unwanted radiation!  :D

Your levelers are not a factory install so doubt anyone here will be much help.  What brand are they?

They don't come with levelers, so it depends. Mine are HWH and it is near the pump, driver's side, a third from front, underneath.

Hi Gwar; The Kwikee levelers are now 'orphaned'. US gear took over the remains, but are only interested in selling their own system. My pump is underneath on the drivers side.  The cap isn't visible, but you can still reach over and it just unscrews from the top of the tank.  A bit messy to work with, but straight forward.  If it is working, great!  On mine the controller got water into it, and corroded the PC board. Parts are generally un-available.  I hope to remake a relay switch logic controller. The pump, valves, rams and hoses are still ok.     RonB

I have never seen two LDs with the same brand levelers with the pump assembly mounted the same way, every installation seems to be different.
To find the pump, where the reservoir resides, follow the hydraulic hoses from the cylinders back to their origin.

In past years, owners of nonoperational Kwikee levelers have removed and sold their systems to other owners looking for parts.
Kwikee used nonstandard electro-hydraulic valves for which there isn’t an off-the-shelf replacement. There still may be a few dealers who specialize in new and recycled Kwikee leveler parts.
