Auto level question

[Dizzyland]

Somewhere I saw there is a way to set the auto level so when you unhook it stores to memory so when its time to hook up to go it will auto lift or lower to the same height to hook up to tow rig ??? Was I dreaming ???

I'm curious now. Let us know if you do a practice run. I think it automatically remembers, but I could be wrong.

I've never had the hydraulic system, I have the electric Lippert 6 point auto level system. I think the hydraulic system works similar.

But what you do is, after you unhitch (trailer is still high in the air to clear the truck bed), you simply hit the "auto level" at that spot. The auto level will level the trailer and enjoy your camp out now.

When hitching back up, to retract the jacks and to return to the same spot in height for hitching, you hit the left and right buttons at the same time.

On mine, the 4 rear ward jacks will start to retract. Once they are up a little bit, the front landing jacks start raising to their original position when you unhitched.

However, if you were parked on soft ground, sand, or dirt, it's possible the trailer tires and jacks could have sunk into the ground some. If they did, your original front king pin height will be lower than the original position and then you still have to manually raise the front jacks a bit more to clear the fifth wheel hitch and hitch up.

But to return to the original position, the original position is wherever you hit the auto level button. That's were the trailer will return to.

On your leveling system after you unhook,auto level your rig. as long as you don't adjust manually after this all you need to do when ready to hook up press the right and left arrows on the display pad at the same time, this should bring you back to the height that you unhooked at. Granted you may have to adjust a little, but you will be close

Thanks to all for the input !!

One caveat to the above information. All of the above is accurate *IF* the pin is above level (not a lot, just a touch at least when you disconnect. If the pin is below level when you disconnect and hit "Auto Level", then the system will present an "Error - Hit Enter To Acknowledge" when you subsequently use the Left/Right buttons to return to hitch height.. Not a big deal, hit Enter and manually adjust the pin height.

On our ‘21, to enable Auto Hitch, the pin had to be higher than level as mentioned. Then with main power on, pressing the down arrow on the left brings up a message to press Enter for Auto Hitch.

That's interesting. My control pad looks the same as your picture and I've never seen the auto hitch message. I usually just down arrow to manual. I'll have to pay more attention next time.

There’s also a sticker under the control panel but it doesn’t mention these up and down arrow instructions for manual leveling and auto hitch. Confirmed today (for us anyway) that down arrow is Auto Hitch and up arrow is Manual Leveling. Pictures of the messages:
