Artic Fox 27-5L.Two inch stack of manuals, and this one is missing :( I remember the dealer telling me there is a button I can push to set the hitch height. Looking at the control panel didn't help much, so I manually lifted it until it was about 1" below hitch height. What am I missing.On another note, backing up a 5th wheel is nothing like a bumper hitch! I can back a bumper pull through a slalom course with my eyes closed. With a the 5er, I truly suck. Doesn't help I don't have the camera set up yet.

What year? Which Lippert auto-level? 4 legs, or 6 legs? On my Grand Design, hitch height is determined by the height of the hitch, after it's disconnected from the truck, and when I hit the AutoLevel button. When I want to hitch back up, I push the Hitch Height button, and the trailer retracts all the legs except the front ones, which go back to that level.

I had a hard time with turning in too soon, and then couldn't catch up to the trailer soon enough to back in properly. I ended up pulling ahead a few feet to straighten up, and then trying again. Always an audience, of course. The more I do it, the better I get, though. You will too.

Truly sad you are sent away not knowing how to hitch and unhitch you’re RV. I am sure there are good YouTube videos that match your system.

With a little practice anyone can learn to back up a single trailer. I've had many people come to me and ask me to teach them how to drive a class 8 truck/trailer combination before they go to take their commercial test ... usually within half an hour they can back up pretty decent. I bet almost any commercial trucker could having you backing up a fiver in no time.

Need to see a picture of the control panel..... My Lippert 6 point system on my 2020 Redwood has a completely different panel than my buddies 2022 Grand Design with the Lippert auto 6 point... I had NO idea how to use his
