There are .. in fact.. a few things that will cause the DS mid/rear levers to lower while towing..
1. An external leak on the retract side lines on that side ( the black colored lines)
2. An internal leak on either the mid or rear leveler leg
3. Hydac valve for the DS mid/rear leveler either did not SEAT when the solenoid power to it turned off or the manual overide screw on that Hydac valve is not tight
I would start with a good visual inspection of the DS levelers and lines for leaks followed with several retract/extend cycles on the DS levelers to purge any air out of the system
If no leaks observed then I would verify that Hydac valve manual override screw is in fact closed all the way
If screw is closed slgihtly loosed and then retighten ( snug tight only )
I would then do an internal bypass leak check on the DS leveler legs ( PDF from Lippert)

NOTE - the front LG has its own hydac valve and these are not connected to the DS or PS mid/rear levelers
Anything that occurs on either of the DS levelers will affect both DS leveler legs because they are connected in Tandem |
We had our RV back out this weekend. On initial 50 mile trip, I checked the mid/rear jacks and they did not drop down. I thinking maybe just a one time issue with a seal not properly seating. Today on return trip, i noticed upon getting home, the DS middle hyd. Leveler was dropped down again approximately six or so inches. I have again double checked and found no leakage anywhere. Also reverified that the Hydac valves are closed. I did the LippertNOW TI-050 check on the DS mid leveler and had no fluid coming from the cylinder nor hose. Just as a double check, I also did the opposite leveler, followed by the two rear ones with no fluid coming from cylinder nor hose with the retract activated. I guess another call to LCI for next step. Meantime, since the pump isn’t activated during travel, I presume placing a strap to the foot and frame will prevent the foot from dropping?
