leveler

I have a 2020 Keystone 3855 BL can I shut off the middle levelers? One of them is bent up and I do not want to damage it any further until I get it to the shop.

Middle and Rear are plumbed together. Only way would be to disconnect the hydraulic lines from that jack and cap the lines.

I believe this is the correct answer.

Yes you could essentially cap off the leveler leg that is damaged ..

BUT … you will need a few JIC37 unions so that you can remove BOTH extend and retract lines from the damaged leveler leg and remove the lines from that leveler and reconnect using the union fittings to complete the extend and retract sides of the hydraulic system

See image

Yellow arrows indicate Extend lines and blue arrows indicate retract lines

The mid/rear levelers on each side operate in tandem

If you just cap off the lines then the entire mid/rear lever legs on both sides WILL NOT WORK

It might just be easier to treat the rig like one that doesn't have a leveling system until the repair has been made. You can still using the landing jacks, but just use blocks under the tires to get the side to side level and the landing gear to level front to rear. That way, you don't need to mess with the plumbing. It might be a bit wobbly until fixed.
