Level-Up

We just had our 09-3400RL upgraded with the Level-Up at Boonville Rv Service and just love it. While we are not using our Monty it is stored in the barn with a concert floor. Is ok to use the system in the level mode thur off and winter months.
Thanks,
Les

If that was a question the answer is yes. We full time and normally work a job all winter so ours stays up for up to six months at a time. You might want to run them up and down every so often just to keep the seals moist.

Concert floor in a barn? Maybe to keep the cows relaxed while playing classical music?

I would not keep pressure on the system all winter unless you are living in the unit. If it is stored, I would retract the jacks.

I believe there is no need to retract rams except to re-coat the polished surface to refresh the micro layer of hydra fluid on the ram to protect from weather/atmosphere. The system should be able to handle the load unless there is a leak. There are dressing products available to re-coat the ram arms without touching Level-Up controls along with the slide out rams especially is parked near a salt air environment.

I don't believe the manufacturer put any limits on using the system continually. However, one might do something really stupid and read the material about the system or call the customer support unit for best advice.

There is one online. If your installer did not direct you there, he did you a disservice. I was in the first batch of LevelUp users. I had very good support from the installer and online manual even after a problem showed up six months later.

How easy was Boonville RV to deal with?
(Ie:scheduling, operation tutorial/demo, etc.)
How long did the install take and any other specifics?
If you don't mind, how much did they charge for the complete install? Tax?
I'm looking at having my install done there... that's why I'm asking all the questions.
