Powergear Levelers Installed wrong
Noticed that the passenger side leveler was sitting lower than the driver side one. Took a picture and realized that the passenger side one was installed lower than the other
The first photo is the driver's side

I see a trip to the dealer in your future. That can't be good.

Does it really make a difference when leveling the coach?
I wouldn't think so. However it probably makes a difference when the jacks are retracted for ground clearance possibly.

Scheduling a trip to the Fleetwood dealer I'm kind of worried about clearance too. Richard, it levels without a problem

I'm more concerned about the lack of height on the one that I might need someday.

Power Gear is owned by Lippert. You might want to send them your pics. Here's their contact info.

Park the motorhome on a level spot. Measure from the foot of the jack to the ground. If both are the same height, I would think the jacks are correct. It may be the jacks are different ratings because you have a slideout on one side and not on the other. ( it sounds weird but who knows what designers are thinking)

The passenger jack definitely sits lower than the other. Looks like it was just installed incorrectly.

That's interesting. Doesn't leave much clearance from the ground from what I can see when retracted
