Yeah, I forgot about the app. Thanks for reminding me. I don't know that the height was an issue, but it was fine once I removed the red buckets.

My last 5er had the 3.0 I was having the same problem and I read somewhere it needed a least 6 in of travel on front jacks. After that I had no more issues.

Thank you for the input. Well, that would certainly be in line with my experience. That's one of those things that should be stated right up front, and if it was I sure overlooked it.

While an auto-leveling system, there are limits as to what it will do. I ensure I am as level as possible from left to right and that the legs at all points are not too far for leveling. I leave a good 16 inches on the front legs for movement. That is the actual leg and not the sliding leg inside the fixed leg if that makes sense. This was my first of five RVs with an auto-leveling system. They advised that the front needs to travel at least 12-16 inches down before it begins leveling and also ensure the rear legs will not be overextended which will also error out, same for center legs. Left to right leveling is key, first of all. I added a front bubble to ensure left to right is close if not right on before I start auto level.

Thank you for the input, I'm leaning toward my issue is not having enough movement when the front goes down to start the auto level. The 12"-16" would certainly support that theory.

My experience has been its not that picky. I've only had our 2021 for a couple of months so maybe something has changed but with our 2018 the main thing I had to make sure of was enough travel for the front jacks. If the site was too nose high it wouldn't work. The nose had to drop down past level to start the leveling process. How far depended on where it started from. Sometimes a few inches, sometimes more. I use the Anderson blocks all around unless I need the extra travel for the jack. Side to side was almost never an issue. It would auto level to the point where one side would pull the tires 3/4 inches off the ground if it had too. I only carry minimal blocking for under the tires and almost never use it.

my experience with the system is it works great, on solid ground that is well packed, but it seems if the ground is softish, the system settles a bit after the first level and then is off, If so I relevel an hour after the first time and it is a lot better.

We have two of the Andersen round blocks, and have used them several times. That was what was odd about it not leveling. Did it no problem with shorter blocks, but wouldn't work
with the Andersens. Go figure.Howard and Peggy

I have not found a satisfactory explanation, but I found that I have to start the level cycle with the nose low every time, otherwise the front will go down to the ground where I stop it before it bottoms out.

Before messing with the calibration, make sure all of the sensors are properly attached. My rear sensor had the scews stripped, and wasn't attached to anything. Being free to flop around, calibrating would have been impossible.... In fact once I reattached it with rivets, it worked perfectly ever since. I never did calibrate it.... I think this may be the primary cause of units needing recalibration,,,, If the sensor moves in the underbelly, it will lose its calibration. I can think of no other reason why it should just "need" periodic calibration.
