Let me add one more set of kudos for the LCI Level Up (r) system based on ours. As another poster has said, I did not appreciate the degree of hassle I went through with my previous 5th wheel's traditional landing gear jacks, including being unable to fully extend one of them on two occasions due to wear on the drive gears and failure of a holding clip on the drive motor causing the shear pin on the "axle" between the 2 jacks to repeatedly break.
One observation. The technician conducting the walk through suggested we operate the jacks in manual mode & not use the "memory" function. Did not ask him why. We do it all on manual and visually confirm all jacks are fully retracted before pulling away, as the instructions suggest.
Of course we use the auto-level function with great pleasure. One caution: be sure the tow vehicle's open tailgate is completely out from under the pin before starting the auto-level. The system drops the front end as its first move, which potentially could cause the pin to hit a tailgate left under it. I had a close call on that once.
