Re: Level up power-SOLUTION
So, we arrived at Issaquah Viilage RV Park near Seattle and got a real level site that I was planning to reboot the Level Up brain after we were fully set up. I went ahead and, after disconnecting the TV, pushed "Auto Level," which had, on multiple prior occasions, resulted in having to abort the process and manually level the rig. This time the "Auto Level" worked flawlessly...what the heck??? What I haven't told you is I had noticed what looked like an oily substance on an area near the middle leg on the ODS (this is the side that wouldn't automatically ground the middle and rear legs.). There was a small amount of a "greasy" substance on the hose near the connector. Neither the frame area nor the hose ever had any fluid dripping/running down so speculated that I had picked up something from the road. Had a down day before we left our last location and, for the lack of anything else to do, crawled under the rig with my wrenches and, after cleaning the end of the hose and the frame area, tightened the two nuts on the connection. Couldn't tighten more than a quarter turn on the bigger nut and almost no movement on the other one. Looked at the reservoir but, with the slides being out and the legs down, couldn't really tell if I was low on fluid or not. Luckily, the Clickners are camped right besides us in their Big Horn and I could look at his reservoir level and determined mine was significantly lower. I carry a quart of Mercon V ATF with me since it can go in the truck's tranny and the Level Up also. Added the quart in the reservoir knowing that if I overfilled I would have a messy situation when I closed up. When hook up was complete, slowly opened front panel and fluid level was about 1/2-1" below fill mouth (whew.). So now level line is marked on reservoir when everything extended. Moral of the story, don't take anything for granted...I will be keeping a close eye on the hose to ensure it is not leaking. If it is a problem with the hose, it is minor and hopefully can be nursed until we get back to our winter place when I will repair/replace the hose.
