Leveling System "Times Out" ?
I bought our Montana in February of 2013. I have been using it for 4 months at least. Traveled 6,000 miles with it. Hooked and unhooked dozens of times. Towards the end of our last trip, the leveling system including the slide operation would stop. The battery voltage would drop to/below 12V. Once they recharged, the slide/leveling system would operate for 10 seconds and stop again. I took it to the dealer for warranty. Keystone referred them to Lippert. They said it was operating and wired as designed!
The dealer technician said that the batteries were charging at 13.7V. He found that the hydraulic pump trips the main hose breaker in the battery compartment and "times out". Then you have to wait for it to "time in" and try again until it "times out" Frustrating...
The tech said for 1.2 hours labor he would add a 80A breaker dedicated to the hydraulic slide pump to resolve this issue. Anyone else ever experience this? What did you do?
