Two questions
1: This last week was our final trip of the season, Now it's time to winterize (Soon as they gravel the parking spot, if not sooner)
So, I decided not to hook up park (city) water right away and sure enough... Wife ran the supply tank dry and did NOT turn off the Sure-Flo water pump. IT was running dry when I got back to the MH from a meeting (I don't know how long)
Put some water (Perhaps 5-10 gallons, well above the outlet) in the supply tank and it did not self-prime.
I was able to pressure prime it and it's worked fine ever since
The question: Can I expect it to take a prime when I drain and re-fill with antifreeze and again with water as the seasons change or should I pull it when I dry out the rig and have it re-built
Question 2:
Power Gear Automatic Leveling Jacks:
How do then sense "Jacks down" (or better yet Jacks not down) I can find no sensor or sensor leads on the jacks themselves so I'm guessing, and I do stress GUESSING, they do it by sensing hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir... (The things seem to want to show jacks down even when they are very clearly up per mark one eyeball inspection)
