Troubleshooting Auto-Level Failure With A Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Leveling System

Question:

When I push auto level the front of the camper goes Al the way down and the other four jacks never come out. It does it no matter how level is seems to be. I have camped at the exact spot multiple times and never had this problem. I can’t blame it on the ground. I have turned the camper forwards and backwards in same spot with same result.

It sounds to me like you need to reset your Zero Point Calibration of your Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling System # LC358590. This is a common issue and Lippert recommends raising the front of the trailer just a bit above level when rolling through the manual leveling steps in the Zero Point Calibration routine. I've attached the steps below for you:

1. In manual mode, run the jacks to level the trailer. This is best achieved by placing a level in the center of the trailer and leveling it both front to back and then side to side. (See “Basic Jack Operation” for instructions on how to manually operate the system).
2. Once the trailer is level, turn off the touch pad.
3. With the touch pad off, press and release the “FRONT” button five (5) times and then press and release the “REAR” button five (5) times.
4. The touch pad will flash and beep and the display will read “ZERO POINT CALIBRATION ENTER to set, Power to Exit”.
5. To set the current position as the zero point, press the “ENTER” button.
6. LCD display will read “Zero point stability check”.
7. LCD display will read “Zero point set successfully” once process is complete.
8. The system will set this point as its level state and the touch pad will turn off.
