Troubleshooting Out of Stroke Error on LCI Ground Control Auto Leveling System

Question:

Our 2014 Columbus 320rs auto leveling device is show a message: Error—- out of stroke. We do not have truck here so we canno hook up. Rv needs to auto leveler to work- is not level now. Do you have any advice. I’m afraid to punch again. It also sounds an alarm if we don’t turn unit off. Thank you

The Out of Stroke error message on the Lippert Ground Control system, such as # LC358590 indicates the jack has extended as far as it will go and has maximized it's extension.

To clear the error you can extend all of the jacks in the system at least 6 inches. Then press and hold the retract button until the jacks start to retract. All of the jacks should fully retract and the error should be cleared. You would then either need to move your camper to a more level location so your jacks won't overextend or use leveling blocks like the Stackers Leveling Blocks for Trailers and RVs - 1-3/8" x 8-1/8" - Qty 10 # A10-0918 under the leveling jacks.

Obviously you need to have a truck to do that, so you will either need to borrow another camper's truck if available or wait it out if your camper is safe yet not leveled.
