Recalibrating Your RV's Leveling System

✅

If you own an RV with a leveling jack system, you may have encountered an issue where your RV forgets what level is after replacing certain components or experiencing a power failure. This can be frustrating and result in an unlevel RV, making it difficult to enjoy a comfortable camping experience. In this article, we will guide you through the process of recalibrating your RV's leveling system, ensuring that your RV is back to its level position. So let's dive in and get your RV back on solid ground!

Background

Before we delve into the step-by-step guide, let's briefly touch on why you may need to recalibrate your RV's leveling system. When you replace the harness or control module of your leveling jack system, it can disrupt the system's memory of the level position. As a result, your RV may not automatically lower the jacks to achieve a level position when you press the automatic button. Recalibrating the system will teach it the correct level position, ensuring that your RV is stable and balanced.

Replacing the Harness and Control Module

If you've recently replaced the harness and control module of your RV's leveling jack system, it's important to recalibrate the system to sync it with the new components. Refer to our previous videos on replacing the harness and control module for a detailed guide on these steps.

Step-by-Step Guide to Recalibrating the Leveling System

1. Turning on the Control Panel

To begin the recalibration process, turn on the power of your RV's control panel. This control panel is usually located inside the cabin of your RV. Ensure that the display is powered on and ready for the recalibration sequence.

2. Performing the Idle Mode Sequence

Once the control panel is powered on, it's time to enter the idle mode, also known as the recalibration mode. Follow these steps:

a. Press the front button on the control panel five times. b. Press the rear button on the control panel five times.

After completing this sequence, all the LEDs on the control panel will blink, indicating that you have successfully entered the idle mode.

3. Manually Setting the Level

In the idle mode, your RV's jacks are ready to be manually set to achieve the desired level position. Keep a bubble level handy and place it on the floor of your RV's cabin. Use the left and right buttons on the control panel to adjust the level from side to side and the front and back buttons to adjust the level from front to back. Take your time to ensure that the bubble on the level is centered, indicating a level position.

4. Programming the Leveling System

Once you have manually set the level of your RV, it's time to program the leveling system to remember the new level position. Follow these steps:

a. Press the "All Retract" button three times. b. Turn off the control panel.

5. Retracting the Jacks

After programming the leveling system, turn on the control panel again. This time, press the "Retract All" button to retract all the jacks. This step ensures that your RV is ready to begin the leveling process.

6. Verifying the Level

With the jacks retracted, press the "Auto" button on the control panel to activate the automatic leveling process. Once the leveling process is complete, use the bubble level on your RV's cabin floor to verify that the RV is level from side to side and front to back. Adjust as needed until the bubble is centered. Congratulations! Your RV's leveling system has been successfully recalibrated.

Tips and Tricks for Setting the RV to Level

• Consider using additional bubble levels mounted inside your RV for easy and accurate leveling.
• Aim to achieve a level position without lifting the tires off the ground, as this can lead to instability.
• Store a printed or digital copy of the recalibration instructions in your RV for quick reference.

By following these steps, you can confidently recalibrate your RV's leveling system and enjoy a comfortable and stable camping experience. Remember to consult the manufacturer's instructions for your specific RV model, as the recalibration process may vary. Happy camping!
