OP Here,
I'll try and answer all of the questions raised
"Are you using the manual mode to raise the front jack's in order to lower the front of the trailer?"
"When going to hitch up are you pushing retract all, then hitch hight?"
What I have been doing is selecting retract then rear. After they are raised I then select retract and then the front. The front does retract but not far enough and I get that error message.
"There is a fault in the Lippert software for their Auto Leveling systems.
We've had it happen to our Hydraulic system, it will let the legs go down and level, but when you go to retract it will start that give an error that the angle is to great.
Talked to the Lippert Hydraulic expert and he told me to put the system into the Calibrate mode and I could retract the legs. So if your 3.0 Electric system has a Calibration mode you could try it."
According to what I have read online the calibration is to be used AFTER you have leveled the RV. It resets the auto level. It does not allow you to raise or lower any jacks.
"Once the trailer is raised to/& disconnected, the auto reconnect will not work if you use anything but the Auto Level. So if you lower/raise the front after disconnecting, you have to use the manual mode to get the height back to hook back up.
Once the truck is pulled away, hit Auto Level. Than it will return using Auto Reconnect."
I was not attempting to use the auto reconnect feature. I was just trying to retract the front jacks.
