Auto 6 point level system and 80amp auto reset circuit breaker?

Thanks to all who helped me with remote. Works great. 2 questions, 1. My rig is "new" to us. One owner 2012 3582rl in perfect shape. I read in the owners manuel for the auto levelers that for long storage they should be retracted. I store the rig at my Wisc house. We bought the rig without having a truck. We are shopping now. It may be sitting for a while. 2. The old owner advised me to replace the small automatic reset circuit breaker with a 80 amp breaker. If you have done this what brand/kind did you buy and how was the install?

The only time my levelers are up is when I am moving down the road. And my RV will sit for a couple of months at a time.

A Search on "resetting breaker" will find lots of answers for you. Here are a couple recent ones to get you started;

We sit for 6 months at a time with the levelers down. Never an issue.

if everything is working the way it is I would not replace anything. wait until you start using it to see if you need to update.



and lots of us keep the front/rear legs down for months without any issues.

Tires don't like to sit with a lot of weight on them for a long time. Vehicles are always moving, parked for short periods of time. RV's and trailers are different. Take the weight off of them if you can.
