Bigfoot Levelers
Hello Folks,
My 2011 Cameo 37cksls came equipped with Quadra's Bigfoot leveling system. This was a feature my wife and I were (and still are) really excited about. So, here is the situation...
Not long ago I had a blowout, so there was lots of raising and lowering of individual jacks to swap tires, including the new replacement tire.
Once I got all this done, I retracted the jacks and pressed the "auto" button and coach didn't level, in fact, it lifted the rig off the ground. doh! So I called the Quadra tech support folks and was told that the system itself doesn't really understand "level". In other words, it has no 'bubble' sensor, or other device that tells it whether it is level or not. I was told that it only extends the jacks to the location where it was last programmed as level.
So, here's my question. If that was remotely true, all of this auto-leveling stuff would be hogwash, right? How could we use the levelers over the last few years and never notice an 'out of level' situation? If the tech was right, then every single site we pulled into had to be exactly level, or at least at the exact same slope as the last time the system was programmed.
Does any of this stuff make any sense to you?
Clearly I'm calling tech support tomorrow, but I thought I would check with you guys too.
Thanks so much!
Tom
