Went to hookup the next morning and nothing worked, all I got was a click. Tried to raise the legs manually and they wouldn't move so we jacked up the front end with two floor jacks so I was able to hookup and take it back in. If they don't get it fixed correctly this time they are getting it back. Took delivery on May 11th and it's been non usable and we are coming up on a month.

Very good chance the batteries are toast by now. Unless you installed Trojan T105's or equivalent that is likely. Also, auto level will not work if the trailer is parked nose down. It has to be nose high so it can find the level point, it never searches up. That is because the engineers assume you are parked on level ground and when you disengage the hitch the nose will be up. Plugging in does not help that much, the hydraulics need lots of amps and the converter is not designed to do that. If you have the factory installed battery or two then even one discharge below 50% will damage the battery enough to make levelling difficult and after the 3 at least you have done they are toast. First thing I did was trash the 2 useless little 75AH 12V batteries Keystone supplied for a pair of Trojan T105's, 6V and 225AH. If you have the residential fridge, get 4 T105's, just remember to connect the main leads cross corner.
