    Auto leveling Issue with in the INLINE fuse

    I have had to replace an inline 10 amp auto fuse for the auto leveling system on my Momentum 355TH, three times now. This has been a bit worry some to me. What is causing this fuse to blow and why so often? I know that an over amperage draw will cause the leveling system to blow the fuse, but what is the root cause of this? This does not seem to be normal to me and should I change it to and inline manual reset 10 amp fuse

    My hydraulic system operated the six point leveling system and the two large slides in our Solitude. It started out new working fine and after about six months began to fail and after letting the circuit breaker, 50 amp, reset it would move the hydraulics another short distance and trip again. Did this for months the dealer basically wrote it off as the circuit breaker was doing its job. I follow the forum regularly and noticed a thread on the circuit breaker being weak and a simple replacement of the 50 amp breaker, located to the left of the hydraulic pump fixed the problem and there has been no failures since. Cost was about $8.50 so I purchased a second for spare.

    Are you running a Group 24 or Group 27 battery?

    Low amperage can cause it also...

    Actually it is low voltage that causes the fuse to blow. It takes a certain amount of watts (voltage times Amps) to work. As the voltage goes down, the current goes up.

    We likely can help if you expand on which model RV you have and what stopped working . . .

    I have a Solitude with the 6 point auto level system. I took it out on the 1st trip and everything worked well. When I went to pull it out of storage, the fuse blew. I called the dealer 200 miles away and they said to check the fuse. They told me where it was located and that the replacement fuse would be a 30 amp. I pulled to blown fuse and noted it was a 10 amp. THe dealer service tech said they put the wrong size in. I replaced it with a 30 amp and it has worked great ever since.

    Correct - low auxiliary RV battery
