My experience is that front jacks of ground control 3 systems do not actually have the lift capacity that they are supposedly rated for. They have always sounded like they are struggling to lift my 5th wheel with a hitch weigh of about 3200 lbs. It doesn’t seem to matter how new the batteries are.
After fighting with Auto Level for years I have come to the conclusion that it really shouldn’t be described as a leveling system, as it has very limited leveling ability and since it can’t stabilize if it can’t level it shouldn’t be called a stabilizer system either. The only job the system reliably performs is lifting the front of the RV to get it off the truck. Other than that it can’t be trusted.
Regarding Lippert Tech support, to be fair, they try but many of the technicians lack experience. Hours spent talking to Lippert support after an auto level fail have made me realize that the best thing Lippert could tell you is not to use Auto Level on anything but a level lot.
