I sort of understand this coming from a reflection to a solitude. The reflection has an electric Jack screw that actually counts the turns of the screw to have the landing jacks touched the ground. That count has to be nearly the same for the auto level to work. Our solitude, and probably yours to, has hydraulic jacks. Since there is no mechanical device tying the distance each jack travel's it really should not matter. What I do on unlevel surfaces is, I will put stacking blocks on the low side to allow the jacks to extend far enough to level side to side or even if it's low on the front to back I will place the blocks under the low end to help the travel and the extension of the jacks. That is how I have always worked with both the electric screw jacks as well as the hydraulic jacks.

We have a 2021 Solitude S 2930. It has the electric auto leveling jacks. Before taking delivery we purchased four Andersen blocks off Craigslist for $60. Thrilled with the deal, but after taking delivery of the trailer we learned the blocks will not fit under the jacks because they are too tall.
Watched a you-tube video from a Reflection owner who suggested using standard Lynx stacking blocks so levelers never have to travel more than 4". Ours takes a stack of two in the front and three or four on the back to get within four inches of contact. The auto leveling system seems to work fine and the unit is very stable once the jacks are down.
We have a similar clearance issue with our Camco sewer hose support so we bought a 10' length of plastic gutter instead.
This 2021 Solitude S is our first fifth wheel and we have noticed it has the least ground clearance of any trailer we have owned (have had 8 over 25 years). Assume this is just an adjustment we must accept if we want the extra room offered by a fifth wheel.2020 Solitude S 2930rl

Understand your comment and can live with the lower drain pipe. Still surprised by the height of the electric jacks and the inability to use the Andersen blocks; however, use of Lynx levelers works very well and trailer is very stable once auto-level is engaged.

I have a Solitude 385 and I love the Anderson blocks. I use them 100% of the time on the front two legs and occasionally will use two on one side if really un-level. I also use the Anderson drive on levelers and those work great too. I place a 2x10 under the others legs. I used to carry around a lumber yard of wood and now just 6 pieces of 2x10’s and the Anderson blocks and levelers. BTW the levelers help keep the tires supported on an un-level spot. Just my 2 cents.

We bought a shower rod and put it on the inside of the shower to hang our wet towels on.
