Big Horn Leveling System

[Dave]

We purchased a new 2014 Big Horn 3010RE with the six point auto leveling system. We were told and it made sense the leveling system would make the camper a little more stable. After living onboard for a month the camper shakes more than when we first setup the thing although the camper moved around when walking inside after setup. In other words, I don't think the leveling system does much to stabilize the unit. The camper is not on a concrete pad but is resting on what appears to be a fairly solid rock pad. My question is, periodically does one have to retract the leveling pads and then depress the Auto Level to basically re-level the unit? Thanks for your thoughts and input.

Hi Dave,

Have you checked the pads to see if all 6 are in contact with the ground? Maybe when auto-leveling, it had a problem and needs a 2nd try.

I have the same rig and have not have a problem although I use a 12x12x4 block under each pad. I don't know if that makes a difference, but at least I know every pad is on a solid footing. Mr former rig had electric jacks and those I had to tweak every three or four days to restabilize it,

Funny you mentioned this. When I first auto leveled the unit it lifted the right side of the camper off the ground. I re-leveled the camper which fixed the problem. All pads appear to be firmly on the ground, I will try putting wooden pads under each leveler, as pgmikef (thanks folks for your suggestion) suggested.

My 3055 is rock solid. My dealer programmed the automatic lever for us at the PDI.

Go to manual mode and put a little more pressure on each side and the front and see if it gets solider.

Yep jnbhole, when all else fails break out the manual. I figured there was a way to adjust each pad, thanks for your input.

Check the manual for the "zero in" process. I believe that gets the system in sync.
