Here's a manual. Covers several.

I think Lippert owns them now. Seems to me there was a complete motor/manifold and valve set on here for sale.

Where would I look for “parts” for sale on this site? According to the manual, I probably need a pressure switch and stem valve, if not the whole unit.

I have a GS Independence which had a Dewald system in it. It would not level and when I tried to level it, the main room pushout would move out a little. Only the bedroom pushout worked properly. I fiddled with/troubleshoot/replaced various parts of the pump manifold assy for over a year. There was a combination of problems, all of which led to no fix. I still am not sure that the replacement parts were suitable replacement. LCI does not admit to having any parts. However, LCI does have a replacement pump/manifold assy and a control for same. Frustration set in, so I had a shop get one and install it. LCI does not sell directly to the general public, only to dealers, so you have to go through a shop. I now press a button and it self levels. Ha, back in business!

Have not been able to locate any parts for Dewald Hydraulic Leveling System.
Seems Lippert owns them now, and has no parts available. Have tried several RV salvage companies to no avail. Does anyone have Any experience with how to handle this situation? Like where to get parts, or has anyone had the whole system replaced? Appreciate any info. Thanks

Yes, LCI doesn't have parts and doesn't want to support any of the Dewald systems. They would rather sell their own system. I found a shop that got one (LCI system) for me. It has 2 ports for pushouts and 4 ports for jacks. It also has a controller and a control panel, which also includes the wiring harness. I bought one, about 1700 for the pump and manifold assy and 1000 for fhe control system. They would not sell it directly to me, so I had the shop get it and do the install and checkout. I also had the room pushout and 4 jacks rebuilt, which the shop and removed and reinstalled for me. Push a button and it self levels.

If you have figured out it's a pressure switch, you have some diagnostic ability. Why not try a generic psi switch,?

decided it will have more failures, so probably should replace whole unit, if I can locate one.
