Recently purchased a new Heartland ELKRIDGE with the 6 point auto leveling system. Have already found some good inf and advice using this owners forum. Thanks for sharing.
They sometimes do this. If the site is really almost level, I'd suspect that the auto-level is extending the jacks further than is needed.
You might try manually leveling.
- Retract the rear jacks all the way.
- Then retract the front jacks until the rig is level front-to-rear. If the site is level, the front jacks won't be fully extended.
- Then extend the rear jacks to just take a little weight off the wheels.
- Finally, level left-to-right if necessary.
I have a question. The Lippert manuel says you can use the level system independantly by leg but I have not found this to be true. Does anyone know how you can manually level each leg? I haven't seemed to make that work. I can't even seem to make just the 3 on the left or right work at the same time, or independantly.
According to Lippert each hydraulic piston is rated for 6000 lbs. However they said never level the unit if the wheel s are off the ground. In this case I put short planks under the tires and re level

Never try to manually level the rig. You more than likely will twist your frame. I use wood blocks to decrease how much the hydraulics have to come out. Reduces the sway and helps protect the seals
