I have a friendship G7 2004. I have two issues with the levelling system. First if I’m parked at a site where the front of the RV is higher than the back of the RV I can’t seem to get the jacks to lift the backend high enough to level. The front trucks are able to lift the tires off the ground but the back tracks don’t seem to be able to lift too much. Is that normal and due to the weight of the engine?

My second issue is with the auto level. Whenever I use it he drops all the jacks, of course the back went to the left too much. But even if the backend of the RV is lower than the front of the auto level will always love the front even higher. I’m usually left with the front of the RV one for her in the back of the RV. Even if I’m on level ground and I do this the auto levels will continue to raise the front more. I’ve tried using the directions from the manufacture to reset what level is, but the system doesn’t seem to respond to the corrections.

Any help would be appreciated.
