    Level up doesn't work right - doesn't realize grounding of the front jacks and keeps trying

    Update: Did nothing to fix it, system is working fine now. THe only thing I did was take a trip with it. Got home figured nothing to lose by trying the autolevel and it worked like it should. We'll see how it goes in the future. I do like to manual level actually as I think it's easier...

    6-Point Leveling Problem

    I had the same problem a few weeks back as the OP. Couldn't get it to autolevel to save my life. Hooked up, moved it, unhooked, tried over and over. Called LCI and they gave me a case number and assured me they would work with me. I then took a trip with it (about 250 miles each way). I...

    Level up doesn't work right - doesn't realize grounding of the front jacks and keeps trying

    I called Lippert this morning. They didn't have any immediate suggestions beyond it sounded like the brain may be dead. They gave me a case number and want me to call back when I am at the trailer (I work during normal hours so it will be a bit before I can get back to them). However, they...

    Level up doesn't work right - doesn't realize grounding of the front jacks and keeps trying

    I saw your other thread too. I can't be so lucky that mine will magically resolve I doubt. I read somewhere in my incessant googling about doing an autoretract or full retract whatever you call it when you basically go from leveled up with all 6 posts down to all up. WHat i read was this will...

    Level up doesn't work right - doesn't realize grounding of the front jacks and keeps trying

    Thanks for the replies. I am leery it will fix itself but we'll see. I am operable as it seems to be able to be leveled manually OK (jacks work as they should manually). I have a 4 ft carpenters level to get it close. Not exactly what I paid for but we can go about our business. I am 2...

    Level up doesn't work right - doesn't realize grounding of the front jacks and keeps trying

    Trailer is 2016 BC 4010RD. The LCI level-up is failing to auto level. Jacks all work manually fine. I had it parked for ~ 3 weeks on the jacks. I retracted fine, hooked to the truck and pulled out of the storage shed up to the driveway to load up. This setting is rear lower than the front...

    Views From Your Campsite

    Camp Hatteras, Rodanthe North Carolina, outer banks August 2-6, 2015. Good family times. Had the Pamlico sound out the back of the fifth wheel, and Atlantic across the street. The outer banks are only a few hundred yards wide at this point.

    Air Conditioner acting strange

    Thanks, that's a great point. I wasn't thinking when I posted about the use of low. I use the high setting, I actually like the white noise so no problem for me. Will running on Hi continuously be any kind of a problem in anyone's opinion?

    2014 Cyclone 3100 air conditioner seems to run ALL the time.

    Thanks. I saw the other thread, I'll continue over there. I think these two threads are spot on with my 'issue'. There are many others out there calling this stuff short cycling but that is different (actually opposite I believe where the compressor is cycling, we're dealing with fan cycles)...

    2014 Cyclone 3100 air conditioner seems to run ALL the time.

    If I may ask, how has the t-stat replacement turned out and have you needed the circuit board replacement? I am having a similar issue with both my units in a brand new BC 4010 RD

    Air Conditioner acting strange

    My new 4010 RD BC is doing this same thing. First the front did it now the main AC is doing this. The fan will shut off, but I can clearly hear the compressor continuing to run. The fan then starts up again after about 5 seconds and they both run, then it repeats this cycle after a few...

    NC registration renewal on 5th wheel - inspection needed?

    I just got a new BC 4010RD and received my registration and plate from the NC DMV. I was shocked to see an inspection due date on the registration just like I have for my cars. I have other utility trailers up to 7K GVWR and none of those have any inspection requirement. Are any others from...

    Not prospective any longer....I did it.

    I was in the exact same situation looking at the Montana 3791RD (just has the residential fridge rather than propane/dual in the 3790RD). We actually were at the dealer to pull the trigger on the Montana and the BC 4010RD had just arrived and wasn't even open yet for viewing. Obviously I liked...

    Building a pole barn - any recommendations for central NC

    I need to build a shed to keep my Big Country 4010 RD....well kinda a super shed i guess. I am wanting to build a 24'X50'X14' pole barn. I am looking for anyone with experience on these especially recommendations for builders in North Carolina or south central Virginia. I am located between...

    Not prospective any longer....I did it.

    I am picking up a 2016 BC 4010 RD in the morning (July 2, 2015). I have looked at fifth wheels for about 18 months now and never had the guts to pull the trigger. We just couldn't find exactly what we wanted, this or that wasn't right. I also have had a challenge with my truck (2014 Ram 3500...

    2009 BH 3055RL Tire upgrade advice

    Hello- I just bought a BH 3055RL and it has the original tire/wheels. It has 8 lug hubs on 6000 lb axles. The spacing between the tire edges seems very limited (compared to some other rigs I have looked at so I am worried about overall size/clearance if i change sizes). It has ST235/80R16...

    Big Country 3900 FLP - are they right now?

    Sorry if this is not the right section, feel free to move it. I am almost ready to pull the trigger on a new BC 3900FLP. I was doing some snooping and see a recall about the pin weight being too light and the fix being an axle move to the rear. I see the dates of mfg being between 9/23/14 and...
