Question on Lippert 3 Auto leveling system

Hello,

I have a 2017 Grand Design Reflection 27RL 5th wheel. I has the Lippert 3.0 auto leveling system. My problem is that when I park the 5th wheel in my driveway I cannot lower the front end back so that I can hitch up. I was able to unhitch without any trouble but the king pin is about 6 inches or so above my hitch when I go to hitch up again. My driveway does slope from the house down towards the road.

What am I doing wrong? I've tried putting 1 foot high pads under the front jacks and that made it worse. This has happened three times causing me to put down a bunch of boards to back the truck on to meet the king pin.

I keep getting an error that the front legs cannot lower any further. But I was able to unhitch and raise the 5th wheel to level.

Your thoughts are appreciated!

I have the Ground COntrol 3.0, and have a pretty serious slope where I park our 5er. I have had the same thing happen to me. If you put it in Manual mode it should lower enough to hook back up. If it doesn't, it will be close, then you just need to see how much blocking you really need. Since I started using Manual mode, I have not had any issues though.
