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 ground. Wheels not lifted off the ground. I checked level with a level. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I did re level but that didn't help. I will try offloading the wheels more too. Thank you all for the quick reply and help.

The OP doesn't say what he is parked on, but if parking on Dirt, things settle, and you may want to 're-level" again to ensure your legs are grounded. I get very little shake on my Cardinal with the 6pt levelup when parked on pavement.

Our Montana has 6 point and it is very solid but does not eliminate all the movement. One thing you might try is once its done auto level go to manual and bump each side up another inch or so. This will take more off the tires and suspension. I have noticed when I do this and we run the washer it makes a difference during the spin cycle.

And to the poster that said there is a " detailed initialization format " that is only to set level in the system or teach it what level is. Once that's done it should not have to be done again. The OP said the level part works so that is not the issue.

I have lippert 6-pt system on my Chaparral 360IBL and it still shook, enough so that I installed JT Strong Arms on the front landing gear. Can't say enough how much the JT's improved comfort by almost entirely eliminating shake in the RV when people move about.

I don't have the 6pt system, but I understand there is a pretty detailed initialization format that needs to be done before use. Not sure thats the issue but worth a try running through it. Ultimately rv's are still subject to movement as the wheels/springs will compress under load from walking or doing jumping jacks on board. This is despite the feet taking some load off the frame while establishing level.

Hopefully someone with the exact system can walk you through any possible cures.
