Lippert Class C Leveling System

[Q6r44300]

When RV is parked on fairly level pad and I try to auto level, the system picks the front tires off the ground and the left rear jack does not retract. Has anyone experienced this, if so what is the fix.

Yes very common. And you're about to hear about 20 different opinions on what to do.

Hear are a few.

1) Never leave the front wheels lifted as it is not safe.
2) Just place leveling blocks under the wheels that are lifting.
3) some say it's 100% fine as long as you're comfortable with that. You might get some extra movement inside the rv while walking around.
4) Here's what I do. I repeat the leveling process but use the manual mode and sometimes you will get way better results. Manual mode is your friend as you can control each jack separately. If i can't get everything level using manual I just get it as close as possible especially if it's a 1 night stay. If I'm staying longer I break out the blocks and place them under the front lifting tires to support the rig. Lippert customer service wil tell you that the lifting of the front wheels is totally fine.

Is it normal for the system to chatter during the retraction of the jacks?

Yes, that's normal operation.

If you're on fairly level ground, none of your tires should lose contact.

After you use auto-level and your tires are off the ground, have you manually checked the level of your rig? I use a small torpedo level on the floor to verify. Some folks use the bottom of the fridge/freezer.

If after auto-level you're not actually level, you need to reset the zero-point, which might be a good idea anyway in your case.

I use the manual function frequently when my auto-level is acting up or not giving me a result I I'm comfortable with.

I would agree that if the front tires are off the ground, it's not the end of the world, but you definitely don't want the rears off the ground. The rear tires are held by the parking brake, so they will hold the rig in place while on jacks. Front tires are free-wheeling, so they do little to hold you in place.
