Leveler Fill Reservoir
- Thread starter klh
- Start date
Are you asking about the hydraulic system? If so, the cap is on top of the unit, inside the battery compartment.
NOTE...only fill to the full line with ALL SLIDES IN and JACKS UP.

It would be nice if Alliance ( we have a 310RL ) designed a front storage door like the Montana units where you can inspect the hydraulic fluid with the trailer attached. I am currently looking into a bluetooth unit to monitor the fluid.

That’s genius!
That only works if you unhitch in the exact same location to the exact same unhitching height. It is far from foolproof or exact

Lantley, that is a great point, I guess I just assumed George was suggesting that it would always be referenced to his storage location, where maintenance is normally done.
You raise an excellent point about the variability.

@Lantley I'm not sure the fluid level has to be that exact or foolproof. 🤷🏼♂️
I admit I could add that the first level check should be done while level — whether hitched or on jack stands. The second check for marking should be on a fairly level area as level as the landing gear can get. I guarantee you'll be close enough for all in tents and porpoises. 😉

George I do think your idea has merit and is useful. However it is not equivalent to having all jacks and slides retracted.
As long as the end user understands your method will have some variation and fudge factor involved your method is worthwhile

It is a good enough for government approach, which can be useful if your system is malfunctioning.
Close enough really depends on what your trying to diagnose. If your trying to determine if you have a leak you will want the level mark to be 100% accurate vs. close enough for government
Ok, thanks we will look for it there. We did not see a removable false wall but we will look again. I will let you know if I don't find it.. Probably couldnt see it if it was on top of the hydraulic unit.
