Level Up

Never a dull moment when you own an RV. We stayed in Tucumcari NM yesterday and as we were going through our routine to unhook and setup we became aware of a problem with our Level up system. After 3 frustrating hours and a phone call to Lippert we discovered our problem. It turned out to be a lose connection on the motor solenoid switch, that caused arcing and a melted terminal. Thankfully we were able to get the slides in and the Fifth wheel back on the truck this morning. We were able to locate a new part at an RV dealer in Albuquerque with a price tag of 3 times what it would cost on Amazon. Lesson learned, make sure all electrical connections are tight.

Actually surprised the resettable breaker to the dual polarity solenoid didn’t open up first... it’s connected directly inline to the solenoid from battery...

That drew a lot of current on the motor
