The 5th wheel auto leveling system is a convenient feature that helps ensure that your RV is level and stable when parked. This system utilizes hydraulic jacks to adjust the height of the front and rear landing gears, allowing for an automated leveling process.
To initiate the auto-leveling process, you first need to manually extend the front landing gear jacks by pushing the “FRONT” button. This will lift the front of the vehicle, allowing it to clear the 5th wheel plate. Once the front is raised, you can then push the “AUTO LEVEL” button to start the auto-level feature.
The system will begin by setting the front landing gear jacks to the level position. This is done by measuring the angle of the RV and adjusting the jacks accordingly. The jacks will extend or retract as needed to bring the front of the RV to a level position.
Once the front is level, the system will proceed to lower the rear jacks. This is done to stabilize the RV and ensure that it is evenly supported. The rear jacks will lower until they make contact with the ground, providing additional stability to the RV.
After the rear jacks are lowered, the system will perform a leveling sequence check. This involves measuring the angle of the RV in multiple directions and making further adjustments to the jacks if necessary. The goal is to ensure that the RV is level both side-to-side and front-to-back.
During the leveling sequence check, the system may extend or retract the jacks as needed to achieve the desired level position. This process may take a few minutes to complete, as the system carefully adjusts the jacks to ensure a stable and level RV.
Once the leveling sequence check is complete, the system will indicate that the auto-leveling process is finished. At this point, you can verify that the RV is indeed level by using a bubble level or other leveling tools. If any adjustments are needed, you can manually adjust the jacks using the control panel.
The 5th wheel auto leveling system is a valuable feature that simplifies the leveling process for RV owners. By utilizing hydraulic jacks and automated adjustments, this system ensures that your RV is level and stable, providing a more comfortable and enjoyable camping experience.
