    Can you lock out the outside control?

    Is there anyway to disable the outside controller for the leveling system? Many of the higher end models put the controller inside the door of the front compartment however mine is outside. Would like to be able to disable that control when parked at home to make it hard for someone to hook up, retract the legs, and drive away. Don't want to disconnect battery because someone could just plug in their vehicle first to provide power and second trailer is plugged in all summer at home for fridge etc.


    Thoughts anyone?

    You should be able to unplug the pigtail from the back of the control panel.

    I was thinking more of the lines of a simple switch to turn off and on when needed. I still want to use it. Would be nice if it could be locked out in the app or from the one control screen.

    Nope, if you want, you could write a SPST switch on the positive side of the control panel, inside the compartment. That would effectively cut it off.

    Thank you, I will look into the swith option in the spring. For now I made a big pile of snow infront of the trailer. Either need a loader or a lot of time with a shovel to take it........

    @03griz, Here is a pic of the leveling system brain mounted in the front compartment of our 2022 303. I would think you could just pull the fuses for the front landing gear. I haven't tried it but that was my plan if I need to secure it. Just a thought. Snow bank sounds good enough till spring for you.
