Leveling Jacks Issues
Just bought a 2010 Fleetwood Discovery after touring the country in a Holiday Rambler Scepter for 3 years full time.
The Jack’s on the Discovery are working, sort of. When using the Auto Level feature it doesn’t quite get the coach level, sometimes 1 or 2 degrees low to curbside. Is there an adjustment feature other than using the Manual option? Tried that and a low Voltage warning flashes and won’t let me finish the manual adjustment. Coach batteries are fully charged, 13.2. Where to repair? Freightliner? I’m in the Austin, TX area and would appreciate any suggestions.

Welcome to iRV2. 
I don't believe Freightliner would look at a leveler issue , as they were installed by Fleetwood.
Do you have any info on the manufacturer and model of your leveling system ?
HWH 625 ? Power Gear ?
13.2 volts , to me indicates that you were on shore power and the charging system for the batteries was active . But a poor connection between the batteries and the leveling system could trigger the warning.

My Fleetwood directions state the engine must be running, not just the ignition switch on to provide high enough voltage.

Your jacks are power gear. Power gear has good information on their website. They have a system of instructions, I think they call them TIPS.
Freightliner has nothing to do with the levelers.

Leveling issue
Test was run with engine on. Manual mode shows Low Voltage before quitting leveling. Where does one clean terminals, at the hydraulic pump?

On my 2006 Discovery, there is a calibration procedure you can do to 'train' the auto feature. But since there are so many different models, it would be best if you got the information direct from the manufacturer. Go to https://support.lci1.com/power-gear-...eveling-system
BTW, I sent you a Private Massage (PM)

We were a power gear repair station. We always started at the battery. Check water level. Test battery voltage under load. Clean all battery cable ends. Follow the heavy lead from the battery to the power gear relay. Remove and clean the cable at the PG relay. Clean the ground at the the motor. If it is still low voltage, check the voltage drop through the relay on the tank and pump Assy.

I have a 2008 discovery. There is a fuse in battery compartment top right side. Probably 100 amp that is blown. Mine is doing same things. Replaced with inline 100 amp breaker. Now when it shows low voltage I just go out and reset and back in business
