6 Point lippert but still shakes
I have a 2015 cardinal 5th wheel with the 6 point auto leveling system. After I've auto leveled the rig there is substantial shake throughout my rv and I don't get why it's not stablized. Im on level...

I've been using the 6-way system for 3 years now and have discovered a few things:
1. You definitely do want to get the weight off the wheels. Fow whatever reason, I do not have a problem that way.
2. I have discovered that you need to put some large, wide supports under the jacks or they will gradually work their way down into grass, dirt, rock, gravel, etc. - basically anything that is not cement, which then allows for some 'wiggle' room, especially after a rain. I have several sets of wide plastic jack supports that I use, but I'm sure wood is fine too. I generally have 2 under each foot.
If you have a problem with #1 above, then you can follow the directions in the owner's brochure and do a manual reset that the system will remember. Just manually level it at a high enough point so that the weight is unloaded from the tires and you'll be good to go. I would not go any higher then needed - you don't want to use up any more jack travel then necessary.
Note that travel is limited with these jacks. That's why I carry several sets of plastic blocks - sometimes needed when on a really irregular surface.
I do think these things are the best thing since sliced bread. The first time you need to set up or take down in the rain, you'll be the envy of the neighborhood.
