Level up Issue

I needed to do a manual level the first night out on the way to Myrtle Beach. In manual mode, the feet, individually as they should, would start down and stop. I would release the button and push again and all I got was clicking. Waited a second and pushed again and all was fine. I thought it was just a fluke so I forgot about it. Once in Myrtle Beach, the AUTO LEVEL worked fine but then the same thing happened on the way home. Could it be the notorious breaker problem showing up in the new system?

I had to take our rig into Lippert last week for a slight leak. They replaced the 30 amp breaker with a 80 amp manual reset

You might just need to reset the computer.

I see you have a 2005. When did you retrofit? If it was 2010, then you probably have one larger reservoir and your original electric landing gear breaker which may be insufficient for the LevelUp.

I have a 2013. It came equipped with the levelup system factory installed.

If you aren't plugged into 120 vac when you are experiencing this, then you could be running into a voltage sag which would mean more current draw on the motor and a chance for the breaker/s causing the issue or maybe that new battery isn't up to snuff. If it still is under warranty, then letting Keystone know of the issue would be wise in case it is the electronics that is the root cause. Good luck with the trouble shooting. John

We learned at the National Rally "Tips n Tricks" session that your front to rear readout must be in a positive position before the auto level will work.

DonandBonnie - What do you mean by Positive Position?

Positive, high in front. If lower in front than rear, raise front of coach until it is higher

Glad to know that! Have experienced the auto leveler not working, and now understand why.

It's not normal, since you usually have the front up in the air to get it off the truck, but certain locations will cause the front to still be low.

Also, your front jacks will extend only 22 inches, the other four 15 inches. Some sites may require additional blocking under the jacks if you don't have enough jack travel to level up.
