I couldn’t figure out how to manually level my unit with the control panel inside, but once you pair your smartphone with your trailer then you can use your phone to manually level the trailer by raising or lowering the front and rear lacks independently. The center jacks are not for leveling only to stabilize after you’ve got your unit level. So, this is what I did. I took a level and placed it on the floor in front of the door and manually leveled it front to back. After I was satisfied, I turned the level 90 degrees so I could level it side to side. It took a few minutes to do this. Incidentally, keep all slide out in while leveling. Once the trailer was perfectly level front to back and side to side I used the “Zero out” feature on my phone. What that does is erase what was in the LCI memory as to what it thinks is level, and resets the memory to your perfectly level RV. So the next time you pull in to a campsite, try to get it close and hit the auto level button on your outside panel and “viola” you won’t have puddles of water in your shower any more, and when you look out the window the earth won’t be crooked! One word of caution. If your site is much lower in the back than in the front, make sure your front landing gear is almost as low as possible. If not, your rear jacks will actually lift your tires off the ground trying to get your trailer level. That’s not a good thing. Hope this helps.
Thanks K! Did you experience and "frame twisting" warnings while doing this?

No, none whatsoever. You can raise and lower the front and rear jacks simultaneously eliminating any frame twist. Once you are level front to back, you can raise and lower the left and right jacks simultaneously as well. Of course you can isolate each jack if you want, but that could potentially give you twist errors unless you go in very small increments. Once it’s done perform the zero out feature and you’re good to go.
