Fulltimer....scared to auto level, help!

[AZamberose]

Hello! So my 9 yo son and I have been fulltime living in our GD 3740bh and we are permanently tapped into sewer and power. Since moving in, the trailer has settled a bit (its resting on ground and large cement squares) and I would like to relevel the unit. Problem is, if the auto leveling system has to reset by going to full kneel forward, then the sewer attachments, my porch, my belongings inside etc will get messed up, so I have been scared to use the auto level system. Is there a way to avoid the unit kneeling? My unit is not off by a lot, but I sometimes notice it when I walk through, and when something gets spilled it rolls towards the front of the unit pretty quickly. If I cannot use the auto level system, what is the best way to relevel my unit now and in the future?

Can't you use the leveling manually? Generally they can be used in pairs, if they're hydraulic.

Yep, manually level.

Just use the jacks that you need to...

How permanent are you? You might want to consider going to concrete blocks and 2x2 concrete pads, not depending on the leveling system holding its trim.

In the leveling control panel there should be a mode arrow up or down. press the arrow until manual mode comes up then press enter. you can use the left or right jacks or the front or rear jacks to manually level a bit. After doing this several times one side or the other might get too high so you have to adjust as you go. Happy Camping!

My electric auto level doesn't 'kneel' when auto levelling. Is this a feature of hydraulic systems?

Mine does the opposite. The rear jacks retract, front raises high and then lowers, and then levels out. I expect that is what he refers to.

Ya, ours raises about a half bubble above level, then lowers.

Yes, the system wants the front end to be lower than the rear to level.

Our hydraulic jacks don’t kneel either when I hit the “Auto Level”. It does kneel a little the first time after unhooking from the truck.

If we are camped on a dirt or grass pad the legs usually will sink a little after a couple of days. I go to the manual mode and it will tell me the degrees that I am off level. Just raise the corresponding legs a little and you can bring everything back to level without worrying about the auto-level.

Our unit was doing the same on Autolevel. It would always be low in the front, enough that when it rained water only came off the front gutters spouts. I confirmed it was low in the front with a 6' level.
To remedy I manually leveled the unit first. I then went into the Recalibration mode to reset the new parameters. It now levels perfectly.
Here's a video from Lippert. I have the 3.0 ground control.

What year control panel is that? Mine is a2021 and it is completely touch screen. No discrete buttons like in your picture. I think I'd prefer buttons.

Mine is a 2024. Below is a picture of a 2023 Solitude S-Class 3740BH (yellow arrow pointing to panel). I heard issues with the touch screen so maybe they got away from them. I am a push button toggle switch type of guy so I'm glad I got what I got.
FYI, I have a Momentum 415G. But the 3.0 Ground Control is used on many make/ models. Also luckily my panel is mounted on the door so you can actually see it!

Hopefully the OP got it figured out!
