FIRST TIME using 6 point leveling

So I got my new 5er home last night but really no time left to get it situated where my old one was. I got home from work after dark and got it parked close to where it needs to be and ready to unhook. I'm so used to dropping the legs, counting the holes and slowly and seemed like forever raising it up.

Now it's up in seconds and I swear I must have waited 5 minutes before I pulled the truck out even though I saw it un-hooked and standing there...... I pulled the truck out and hit "auto level" and watched it go!!

So has there ever been a 6 point failure and the front dropped? My old electric front landing gear once set I used pins just in case the first set slipped or moved. Over all really cool and can't wait to go camping and use them.... No more boards except to get out of my driveway.

I'm pretty new to the auto-leveling system and not sure I fully know the tricks yet. I have a 4 pt system on a 35' FW.

Things I have noticed or read:

1. I have to be pretty level to start with. I've seen other people mention within 1 degree of level.

2. You should never have wheels off the ground. I don't think the system is as smart as it should be and sometimes does things that don't make sense.

3. I do use leveling blocks to get close to level. (I like the andersen ramp thingies)

4. My unit was delivered from the factory with a wonky leveling system. The dealer spent 3 days trying to figure it out and finally lippert just sent an entirely new system (100% of the parts replaced).

5. Many people with problems can reset their system to level/zero it out and things start working again.
