  1. It is easy to do. I have replaced my springs on my HWH jacks on 35 ft. Winnebago. Look on net, I used 20 penny nails. Extend jack, place nails, chop spicks, cloths pins, or whatever else in springs, allow jacks to retract. Might need a little help from a lever to push up on jack. Remove plate, it should just fall off. Takes about 10 minutes per jack. If you are replacing the springs, then, you have to be a little creative. Turns out the front hitch on my jeep toe was the correct distance apart to extend new springs. Bought 3 feet of 1/4 inch cable, anchored spring on one end of hitch, adjusted cable to correct length, and used jeep, piece of junk screw jack, to extent spring. Place objects (nails or whatever) in springs, and put on jacks, extend jack remove nails. Repeat. Took about two hours to do all four jacks.
  2. I am very pleased with my TST 507. Some of the sensors are several years old while others are newer, because of different RVs. Service has been outstanding, had the monitor replaced for free last year, even though it was three years old. As stated above pressures have always been within 2-3 psi when checked with gauge. I took the flow through sensors off the Fifth wheel and put on current 35 ft. Winnebago. Because of valve extenders , if I have to replace, will go with non flow through, as I have to unscrew then to check psi anyway. So 6 flow through and 4 non for the toe, total of 10. Monitor sits on dash, do not have a repeater and always works as advertised. Would not be without some kind of system.
  3. First, no one else has made a recommendation for a service center in the San Diego area, so I would suggest Rick's RV, East main, In El Cajon. I have recently had work done on our 35 ft. Winnebago, Adventurer. They have very good reviews, and I was very pleased with their service department. They have many years dealing with HWH products, slide outs, and general RV issues. They are always busy so schedule ahead, ask for Erick. As far as the water pump itself, good advice has already been given. it mainly depends how much work you want to do yourself. I always carry a spare water pump, hooked up so I can pump water in tank from portable containers when boon docking. Second, if you need a Mobile Mechanic, I would recommend A and M Mobile Mechanic In Lakeside. They have lots of experience working on the Ford V-10 triton. My throttle body went out during our stay, and they fixed it very quickly at a very reasonable rate. Our three months in San Diego are up, so working our way back up to Washington.
