Not level

Just bought a 2019 3811MS. I have it in coverd storage until next spring when I retire and will move to Florida panhandle and live in it permanently. I don't have a tow vehicle yet and the 5th wheel is not sitting level. what is the best way to manualy level my Montana. I do have a vehicle with a bargman plug so I am able to provide 12 volts by parking close and pluging into my light duty pickup.

You will need a full 12 volts for the level system to work well. If there isn't any shore power nearby you have to use battery. Plugging into your truck likely won't cut it. With your truck running you could use jumper cables from your truck battery directly to your RV battery. That should allow you to use your level system.

You are going to need a 12V battery (relatively charged up) to level the rig. The easiest way is to turn on the touch pad and hit "Auto Level". If for some reason (which would be interesting in itself) you can go to Manual Mode (push the left side up button 3 times (I think, maybe more?) until you find it, hit Enter and then use the arrows on the right side to raise the RV.

You will need a fully charged battery if you don't have any shore power or a genny. just use your self leveling system in auto or manual. Good luck
