Note: Determine where these jacks will be mounted on your trailer. Use this system if there will be 20' or more between the center of the landing gear footpad and the center of the rear jack footpad. If your setup requires less than 20' between the jacks, use the 4-point Ground Control system (LC358590) instead.
Leveling your fifth-wheel RV has never been easier thanks to the Ground Control 3.0 electric leveling system. The motorized leveling legs eliminate the need for labor-intensive, manual scissor jacks. And the auto-level feature takes out the guesswork by automatically and precisely leveling your RV. Whether you use the easy-to-use touchpad or the touchscreen remote, all you have to do is step back and watch as Ground Control 3.0 levels your rig right before your eyes.
Automatic Leveling for Your 5th-Wheel RV
The auto-level feature provides the easiest, most efficient way to level your rig. With automatic leveling, you don't need to go through the trial and error of referencing levels and manipulating jacks one at a time. Just set the level position (zero-point) once, and the Ground Control 3.0 will bring your RV to that same preset point each time.
When first setting up the Ground Control 3.0 you will need to manually level your RV. With some leveling systems, manipulating the jacks individually can result in damage to your trailer's frame. Ground Control has built-in twist prevention so that you won't have to worry about twisting and damaging your frame.
In addition to automatically leveling your RV, the Ground Control 3.0 can also correctly position your trailer for hookup with the hitch recognition feature. This time-saving function stores your RV's position when you unhook from your tow vehicle so that it can automatically return the RV to that position when you're ready to hitch back up again.
Motorized Jacks with Hall Effect Technology
The 6 motorized jacks included with the Ground Control system employ Hall effect technology to precisely and quickly raise and lower your RV. These jacks use sensors to measure the number of motor revolutions per minute instead of amp draw. This allows for more precise control over the motor than you'd have with conventional motorized jacks, which results in more accurate leveling of your trailer.
Convenient Operation
Ground Control 3.0 offers 2 convenient ways to level your rig. Whether you use the touchpad or the touchscreen remote, setting up camp is at your fingertips.
Touchpad with Lighted LCD Screen
The included, easy-to-use touchpad makes leveling your RV as simple as pressing a few buttons. The lighted LCD screen provides helpful prompts and alerts you to the status of the system. There are also indicator lights that let you know what functions are being performed.
Touchscreen Remote
The included touchscreen remote features a convenient leveling app that lets you operate the Ground Control 3.0 system from up to 50' away. Just sync the remote to the touchpad during installation to ensure that the system is fully integrated. The remote is powered by a long-lasting, non-replaceable lithium-ion battery, and a convenient wall charger is included.
Installation
Upgrading your rig with the Ground Control 3.0 system is simple. The 2 landing gear jacks mount to existing points on your RV and secure with included hardware. The 4 rear jacks come with mounting brackets that bolt onto 8", 10", or 12" I-beam frames with included hardware. Mounting the rear jacks does require drilling. A sensor is also included for the rear jacks. This will be mounted on a crossmember near the rear jacks.
The control module for the system mounts in a compartment under the coach with included hardware. This module has a wiring harness that connects directly to your 12-volt battery. Wiring harnesses are also included that connect the jack motors, rear sensor, and the touchpad to the control module.

If your RV is already prepped for the Ground Control 3.0 system, this kit has everything you will need to automatically level and stabilize it, without unneeded, duplicate components.
Let me say this to start, this system is AWESOME!! If you do not have a leveling system on your camper, this one works very , very well. I will say, the install and the learning curve takes time and is not too hard, but it's not super easy either. Once I got the system in place, and understood how to use it, the rest was a piece of cake.
Take your time on the install and get help. The parts are robust and heavy, so two people make it much easier. Have sharp drill bits to drill the attachment holes. Wiring is super simple, but take your time and make sure you get all the connections good and tight and secured well with zip ties.
The system requires a good strong battery, so make sure your battery is in great shape and you will not have any issues. Get the Lippert app also, it is very helpful.
I love it now, when I pull my 2006 Keystone Raptor 5th wheel toy hauler into a campsite, I hit a couple buttons and the longest it has taken to level my unit is 2 minutes and 30 seconds. I love it! It puts the camper at the same level every single time, which is awesome. No guessing, no driving up and down on blocks, just push a button and walk away until the camper is perfect. Would I do this over again you ask? Absolutely. Awesome system!
The system is not what was advertised, it's better, at least for me. Everything arrived on a pallet in excellent condition, except for the advertised remote. I contacted etrailer and they put a replacement on order which I received a few days later. In the meantime, I tried to place the controller in the mode to sync the remote and see if the remote I had with my RV would sync, but I could not get the controller in that mode to accept a remote. Upon reading the controller label, I noticed it said BT and had a passcode on the side of it, so I downloaded the app and it connected to my phone. It seems the LCI Linc remote is obsolete for my Ground Control 3.0 and it is now using the phone app. Everything seems to work as expected; I'm excited to try everything out this weekend on our first outing. I was able to push a fiberglass push stick from the front basement to where the rear jacks are located without dropping the underbelly and pull all the required cables to the rear of the camper and utilize existing frame holes to bring the connectors out to the rear jacks. I think this will be a nice upgrade to our fifth wheel after our factory landing gear failed.
shipped in a timely manner. Easy install wit good instructions. I did have one question about the location of the rear lifts and called the company and we had an answer instantly. Wiring was very easy with good instructions. The system worked on the first try and have had no issues so far. Great system. I was looking at newer campers with auto leveling and about 40 to $50,ooo if I traded my paid for camper in. The cost saved me a lot of money and works as it should and saves my back and a lot of set up time. would and have recommended to others. Thanks.
After the initial installation there was a little confusion about setup I have been very happy with the way it works really simple push one button hit auto levels it's still working well thanks
Installation was straight forward, if time consuming. Only issue was Lippert was changing unit, and I got the control unit for the new system and the remote for the old system. Lippert shipped me the components to use the new app remote, and that works fine.
It's is a great improvement to push a button and wait 5 minutes or so for the camper to be perfectly level instead of backing up, check, pull forward, stack block, backup, rinse and repeat a few more times. Setup is so much easier it is amazing! Highly recommend this product.
Had initial problems with the remote. After several emails with e-tailer support, contacted Lippert support to find out the remote and controller were not compatible. Lippert gifted me a new controller and stepped me through setup on iPhone. System works great.
This package was well put together in one box (275 lbs). The instructions were brief and to the point. No blather. Most of the work was in dropping the underbelly and pulling the 3 wiring harnesses to the rear of the 5th wheel. My trailer had brackets for the 2 rear jacks mounted on the frame and a mounting plate for the rear centerline sensor. This kit included both these items, which are now extra.
First, the customer service from etrailer is the best that I have ever experienced. I ultimately decided to purchase this system from etrailer, in lieu of the cheaper prices from Amazon and Walmart, because of the excellent pre-sale service from Mr. Jon Griggs. After purchase I had outstanding support from Carol C., Chelsea D., George J. and Trevor Wh.
Second the Lippert system is straightforward to install and works perfectly. I didn't like the self tapping hardware for the rear jack installation, so I used my own grade 8 hardware. Some of the terminology used for the levelling adjustments in the included manual and and stick on labels are not consistent with each other and that which appears on the led display. After some playing around with it, I got it figured out. The included remote control locked up after the initial set-up and can't be cleared. Overall the system works very well and makes uncoupling, levelling and recoupling a breeze.
Very nice product. I have had it installed for about a year now.
I did the install myself. It was a little intensive but very doable. The problem I ran into war the torque specs for bracket mounting was off. They had it set for XXlbs on a 3/8 bolt.. after I broke my 3rd bolt, I looked up the standard torque spec for that size bolt and used that. Which was more like 30-40 lbs. but other than that I have been happy with the operation. Very easy to use much better than getting the blocks out to level.
System straight forward to install with the cleat instruction manual provided. missing a couple of small nuts and bolts which I had anyway. Parcel was missing the remote control which etrailer was quick to send out (waiting for it now). I had a couple technical issues getting it setup but overall I am pleased with the levelling system.
I love this leveling system and the support that Lippert gave me. I installed the jacks myself per the Lippert instructions. The only problem I had was that the self taping bolts would not self tap. I had to use an actual tap to put threads in my frame.
It is wonderful to push the auto level then step back & watch the system work. Then when it is time to leave the system brings the hitch to the perfect level for easy hook up. Very satisfied.
So far so good but still working on the installation. I had to fabricate a couple of brackets due to my 5th wheel configuration to get a rear sensor and front controller mounted but not a big deal. Over very pleased with quality of jacks. I did receive extra brackets (see picture) that weren’t listed in the material list and I don’t see where they would even mount. I will need to make a phone call about those
This is an excellent product! Don't know why I waited so long to purchase. If you have basic mechanical skills you can install this. Took me about 4 hrs to install with the help of a friend to install the landing gear jacks. Had to modify the jack mounting tabs just a little to get them to fit, but not anything a little grinder could'nt handle. Overall, heavy duty, easy to install and a must have for any 5th wheel. Have used it many times without any issues...love it!!!!
Price, delivery, communication all great. Install was complex on my rig and it is a Lippert frame and chassis. Required a lot of mods on my 2017 Attitude 28SAG. Had to cut away some metal (non structural) to get mounting points on rear jacks. Had to reroute fuel lines to genset. With no access to the left front landing gear, I cut and added an access door and gained bonus storage area. Wiring was a breeze with the nice harnesses, long enough for any size rig. Quiet and fast.
Caution: make sure you mount the Quick Release Pull Pin with the barrel away from the frame: This unit retracts automatically very close to frame and you can bend the pin.
Cons:
Mounting plate for rear sensor was not painted and was rusty. No screws included to mount sensor but listed on parts list. only included 8 frame attacing bolts, install requires 12.
No big deal.
Overall well worth the money and the effort.
good product just don't like how close to level you have to be before you use it
Great so far. The only disappointment is that it came with a remote that doesn’t work with the controller. I called LCI and they said the new system controller is not compatible with the remote. Why include the remote at all then?
This is a great upgrade to any 5th wheel and worth every penny. It is some work to install but if you have a little mechanical skills and take your time its no problem!!
Works very well!!
Finally got time to install this. No instructions included but was pretty self explanatory. Only complaint was it did not come with the wireless remote but I’m sure they will take care of that. Hardest part was working upside down to drill multiple holes. Unit works great on our 38’ toy hauler and was easy to get operational.
Installation took me about 16 hours, which includes sealing up the bottom of camper. Had to make a few modifications to trailer, no major problems. So far, works the way advertised. Missing some hardware, made one phone call and company sent out the difference.
Not quite the quality of the hydraulic system we had before but works great.
I ordered this 6 point leveling system to replace the 4 point landing gear/stabilizer system on our 38' 5th wheel.
The system installed easily with all wiring harnesses ran under enclosed underbelly and through support crossmembers.
If you currently have electric landing gear, this is actually quicker than OEM. It's also quicker than the previous version of Ground Control leveling.
I chose this over the hydraulic version because we only use our trailer a few times a year.
Having loaders/tractors, I know how hydraulic seals don't like to just sit and collect dust.
I have made several purchases through etrailer, and have yet to be disappointed.
Great products! Great packaging! Great service!
Thank you!
System was easy to install and operates great. Levels the trailer quickly. Saves me time during set up and breakdown.
I love it. No more leveling blocks to place, love the solid feel while walking around inside, and reconnecting the 5th Wheel could not be easier.
I wish ground clearance when fully retracted could be a inch or so better but acceptable. Installation required some minor modifications on my rig.
I haven't used it at the campground yet, but it seemed to work as expected in my shop. Installation was fairly straight forward. I'm 72 years old, and was able to do it by myself.
awesome product,installed the system in a day,did just as instructions said and no problem,love them when at camping site al I have to do is run them up and drive truck out from under trailer and then press button then step back and they do the rest. this is so much simpler than blocking up the wheels which never is quite level and with these it is always perfectly level. would recommend these for anyone with a 5th wheel as they are easy to use and the unit is very sturdy.
