Parking in one spot for more than a couple days is a new experiance for us. Is it normal that I have to re-level after only 10 days or so? Or do I have a service issue? It is a Lippert Ultra Level syestem. Thanks

Yes, it is quite normal for the jacks to go down a bit after 2 or 3 days in one spot. There is ground settling under the jacks, unless they are on a concrete slab which causes the coach to not be leveled properly. Certainly, after 10 days, it is entirely possible to have to relevel.

Just ordered jack pads. They are 16" square and 1" thick. This I have been told helps with the sinking problem. If your jacks seattle could be a problem with the system. We have had jacks down for 2 weeks or more and have had no settling.

We are parked on concrete and now difference is enough to see that only one jack is a problem.

I am on a 8" 26'x 65' covered slab
after a few days we re level then again about 2x a month, if we are here that long
the ground here is rain sensitive, so when it pours the coach gets unl evel ever so slightly and the bathroom door will open by itself and on its on time line, like at 2 am....THUD

Ours is the same.

Ususally only have to manually touch it up a bit after a few days.

I park many times on grass covered lots(usually at horse shows) for several days at a time(up to ten) and have never noticed anything.
