I am having a problem with the Jacks not leveling properly in the auto mode. The MH is a Daybreak 3578 and it consitantly lists to the right when using the auto leveling system. I have not yet tried to manually level the coach. Is there a calibration process that can be performed by the dealer or is it just the nature of the beast.

There is a section in the information packet that tells how to re-set them. Damon probably uses the same on all the coaches with auto level. You level with the manual portion to where you want it to come back to each time. I forgot what the procedure is to save these settings (in the manual) and it is supposed to always come back to this when you auto level.
To manually level, simply lower the air, turn the system on and punch the 'manual' button. Then push the appropriate buttons for the low side. When the yellow lights are out and you are level, the green light in the center comes on.
When auto leveling, you have to be still, as it will throw off the unit.

Here is the manual for my Daybreak and the calibration is in here. If the link doesn't work, go to Lippert and download the "electronic leveling" manual.

Good luck!

I dont trust the auto mode. I always level manually. If there is a malfuntion, there could be severe damage if one piston extends too much. I've seen windshields pop out, roof seals split open, and damaged slideouts. It only takes seconds to level manually. JMHO

I see your point, obviously I'm new to leveling jacks, I had not considered that sort of damage.
