elkhartjim Report post Posted October 30, 2023 It may be possible to over extend your levelers and/or raise a wheel off the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erniee Report post Posted October 30, 2023 Just don’t raise your rear wheels off the ground Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayne77590 Report post Posted October 30, 2023 I always ask if the site is level. If I pull into one and it is "way" off I call the office and tell them it is not satisfactory. Same thing for length when I don't want to unhook. When reserving I always ask. A site that is only 1 or 2 degrees off level should be no problem, auto or manual. If the slope is from front to back of the MH, care, as stated, as to be taken to not lift the rear wheels off the ground. That is where the brakes are, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayin Report post Posted October 31, 2023 For HWH brand leveling system, NO you cannot damage the MH using auto-level. HWH systems are designed so 2 jacks act together, this prevents twisting the frame. reference: https://www.hwhcorp.com/ml20673aafaq.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rls7201 Report post Posted October 31, 2023 If you have a 3 jack system, make sure the front jack has raised your MH slightly before deploying the rear jacks. This help to keep the frame from twisting, and damaging your windshields and front cap. Richard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The front 2 are connected so they equalize and stay fairly level. This takes the twisting stress off the body. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayin Report post Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) I think Lippert leveling system jacks can be operated individually. The HWH 4-jack system operates in pairs only to prevent frame twisting, the 3-jack system cannot be manipulated to twist the frame, as the front deploys first and acts as a pivot point for the rear jacks. It matters not if the leveling system is operated in auto-level or manual mode. Of course, air-leveling is impossible to twist the frame. I have no knowledge of the Kwikee Level Best, Power Gear or Bigfoot leveling systems. Edited November 2, 2023 by rayin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
