Maiden Voyage Shake Down in the books.
Okay so we just got back from our 3 day shake down camping trip about 70 miles from our home.Perfect weather! We took our time and used our check lists like the good campers that we are, being a rookie sure came in handy, because I know exactly what to do until it's time to do it, then I can't remember sh**. Two issues first I couldn't get the water pump to run. It ran perfect last year after we bought the camper and winterized it. But when we tried it Friday nothing. No sound nothing. And of course I left without a fuse tester. I bought a box of fuses but no tester. Duh. We were hooked up to city water so that problem can wait. Everything else worked perfect until it was time to leave and we tried to set the landing gear to "Hitch Hight". We turned on the Auto Level pushed Hitch Hight and got a blinking red light . I went inside to the One Control panel to leveling and Bingo! an error code. I cleared the code and tried it again , no luck. I wound up just doing it manually. Everything worked fine when unhitching. So again thanks to everyone out here that helped me/us through this learning process. Any suggestions on the Hitch Hight problem?
Thanks

On our last trailer, a Coachmen Catalina 313RLS, every single year after winterizing, the first trip out, the pump wouldn't pump. I would take an air hose and blow gently into the suction hose with the winterize valve open so the pressure went to the pump. Then I would close the valve and magically, the pump would work again. Never figured it out before we traded it in on our GD. Not sure if the diaphragm was getting dried out stuck shut or what.
As far as your leveler controls....mine gives a red flashing light every time I try to use it to "auto-level" outside. It works find from the touch screen or phone app. I still haven't figured that out either. Hitch Height does work on mine thought.2021 Reflection 367BHS

I got the flashing red with the auto level before as well, for me it turned out the leads on the house batteries were loose, tightened them down and it seems to have fixed the auto level problem. As far as the water pump goes on the Coachman,Could you hear the pump start? I couldn't hear mine start.
