Retract the jacks by hand?
I have a 2022 Fortis 34MB with the Lippert leveling, and yesterday the jacks were behaving oddly. First, after parking I went to extend them, and the little screen on the jacks controller said the jacks were already down (which they weren't). I ran the auto-retract anyway, although I'm not sure it did anything.
Then I tried to do the auto-level, but I got an error. I don't remember exactly what it said, but it was something about it aborting the operation because it got an error. I looked under the coach, and several of the jacks were partially down, but only one was touching the ground.
I retracted them, turned the system on and off, and tried the auto-level again. It worked, and the jacks extended and leveled normally.
This experience got me thinking. What if I'm parked in a campground and the jacks won't go up? The scenario I'm concerned about is where both the auto-retract and the manual retract don't work from the control panel, like if the controller is totally broken.
Is there a way to crawl under there and raise them by hand with a wrench or something?
