The reason you still get some wiggle is because there are rubber bumpers on the inside of the air bags. They are there to keep the bag from totally collapsing on itself and possibly putting a hole in the bag.

Ron,

It is hardest on the air bags for them to be deflated as they fold and leave a tight radius on them. This is where they typically fail at or begin to crack at first. I wonder if they found a way to keep them from folding and decreasing their lifespan??? I've always heard it's best for the bag to keep them inflated because of this.

Hi Tom,

That is correct for a 2001 coach. HWH introduced a new digital controller in the 2003/2004 time frame. With it the tripod mercury leveling sensor usually mounted centrally above the ceiling in one of the bays also disappeared. Another change to the function of the new digital controller is that the dump and raise buttons are a latch and no longer momentary.
The basic intent of the dump and raise buttons is to allow you to lower or raise the coach to clear obstacles where you only need a few inches to clear. The reason you have to hold your finger on the non-latch type button is that if you don't then the HWH controller will relinquish control of the air bags to the right height valves the minute you release your finger. This means that the coach may raise into or drop onto whatever you were trying to clear as you drive over/under it. Not a good thing. The coach should never be driven very far or more than 2 or 3 mph when being help out of ride height by the raise or dump button.
I have the newer digital controller in my 2004 Allure and when I press either the dump button or the raise button it latches in continuing to either raise/dump the coach all the way, unless I hit the stop button. Of course the minute I do the coach will go to ride height just like yours will if you release the button. Both methods have their pluses and minuses. I had a 2002 Allure with the older controller and I did find it difficult to drive while holding the raise button at the same time.
The easiest way to spot which controller your coach has it to look for a travel mode button on the controller panel. The older analog HWH controller panels do not have one.

My dump and raise buttons on the HWH are momentary switches, they must be held to function.

Hi,

Enjoy!!! Just noticed you are one coach after us. Did the original buyer have an EW? If so you might be covered for a transfer fee. Our EW is for 7 years 70,0000 miles transferable. I would not be without one. We just had our PTO replaced. The insurance is Prizm 800 725 5045.

Hi Marianne, This particular EW wasn't transferable so I purchased one through Xtraride. Perhaps we'll see you on the road!
