I have the Lippert leveling system on my 2017 Solitude 310GK. I have been living in the coach full time since January of this year.
In the spring I started noticing I needed to "re-level" the RV after every month or 6 weeks as it started to lean a bit to the front left. At the beginning of September I relocated to a different RV park. At that time the stabilizers and leveling system worked well.
About two weeks ago I noticed that the coach was starting to REALLY lean to the front left. I went to the control panel and pushed the auto-level button. All the lights flashed as they normally would, there were some relay clicks from the basement, and nothing happened until the control panel timed out and showed a function failure. I have tried this repeatedly since then with the same result.
I have checked the fluid and fuse and all seems well. There is no evidence of a hydraulic oil leak.
My suspicion is there is a valve/manifold leak which is why this started out as the hydraulic fluid "leading" back into the reservoir.
I have seen there are instructions to retract the jacks or operate the hydraulic system manually, but it appears access to the hydraulic pump is way at the top of the unit, which is mounted way high in the front bay. I am not longer the gymnast I once was to fit myself up there for this.
Any suggestions on how to get this working so I could at least haul the RV into a GD dealer for service? Or, better yet, a quick fix so I can do this myself!
Thanks in advance for any help or advice!
