Landing gear auto level

[larrybessette]

While the camper is laid up I want to fix the landing gear/auto level (electric).
Here's what's happening. The auto level will only work one time. Example: If I set all of the legs to the reset position (lowered 6") then retract them the system will reset. I can lower the front legs, disconnect, hit auto level and it works. When I want to hook up I hit the reconnect button, the front of the camper will return to the position from before disconnecting. I'll hook up,hit auto retract and away I go. The next time I want to disconnect the system will give error signals on one of the legs, LF,RF,RR,LR, No telling which leg it will be. I then have to manually lower the leg with the error and level manually. When want to hook up i have to go thru the whole process again. It's driving me mad!

Larry - I have not used the “snazzy” features of the Level-up system, besides using auto-level after I get disconnected...I'm more of a manual guy for retracting the legs. Also - I manually adjust the tongue height for hitching. My "manual" methods are used because I have never learned the snazzy stuff. I have not experienced any error messages. Someone here will be able to address your questions.

I had a similar problem .... twice. Turned out to be a broken gear in the front landing jacks. The first happened on the passenger side a few years ago. It happened again on the driver's side about a year ago. The second time, I could not figure it out. I contacted a mobile tech who took almost 4 hours diagnosing the problem and figured it was a broken leg. Well, $600 for labor and his fees, and another $200 for the leg, we were back in business. Mine is the Lippert 6 point electric system.

Was the broken gear visible? Where on the leg was the broken gear? I have the electric 6 point system as well. And want to be able to identify a problem if it happens to me.

The broken gear puzzles me. Did the leg still move up and down? Make noise? I am considering removing the legs and checking them out. Disassemble, lube and and see what's what. Has anyone ever taken one apart?

Was the broken gear in the leg or in the motor/transmission.

Id start by calling Lippert. I suspect a flat spot in the worm drive on one of the landing legs which will cause frame twist. **** it could be a bad connection or low voltage. Call Lippert.
