Ground Control 3.0 problems-convert to hydraulic level up?

I had a heck of a time getting set up yesterday. The ground control was giving me fits! First, landing jacks wouldn’t extend far enough (even using blocks) to get trailer level to start the leveling process. Then I get RF error. Rehomed the system try again. Same problem. Two hours later, I decided to take a break for a while. Come back and try again. Now front jacks aren’t moving up simultaneously, only one side moving. So I lower all jacks 6” and retract all again. Try to lower landing gear and get out of stroke error after 1” of travel. As you can imagine, I’m pretty ticked off, kids and DW are anxious to get inside. Finally able to get everything kinda level because auto level kept causing errors.

Now I’m seriously considering a hydraulic leveling system upgrade. Sorry for the rant. Has anyone switched from electric to hydraulic?

I have not. I’ve only set up a couple times with no issues (knock on wood). I am curious if there is a manual way to extend/retract each jack? Guess I’ll have to dig into the manual to familiarize myself with the system more in anticipation of future issues.

On our leveling system I was having problem trying to get the RR jack down but after headache and more headache I took a 3/8 racket drive extension and put it down manually so it will match the other and I was able to put them all up.

Taking it to dealer to get fixed. Hopefully it'll be a quick turnaround
