Opinions on Lippert 6 pt. leveling system

[PMiller228]

We are about to place on order on a Sandpiper 371REBH and I'm considering the Lippert 6 pt. leveling system. It's a $2,000 option. What is everyone's thoughts on it? Is it a troublesome system or pretty reliable? Does it work well? Thanks!

This is pigpen again just an update, I stated that my lippert 6 point leveling system had a low voltage reading on the control panel. But the gen and land hookup worked fine. Took out my batterys to take down where I bought them and they tested good. Started reinstalling them and low and behold my ground cable crimp on connection fell off!!! after reconnecting the loose ground cable all is well again. Now I can push a button and sit back and drink a cold one.

I saw this post back in May and did not think much about it. We have the 6 point on our new Montana and yes its great. However I think this is the first post I have seen in 8 years that every single person agrees on something and no one talks it down even though its made by the dreaded Lippert Ind. Go figure.

Maybe it's because Lippert didn't design it - they bought rights to the LevelUp system.

You might consider the added weight of the hardware. Will the added weight of the 6 pt system put you close to weight limits.

What's the battery voltage readout on the LevelUp panel when you arrow through the readouts? Obviously, there's a problem with the supply voltage from the battery to the LevelUp system - could be a loose cable, or your new battery might have a weak or defective cell. I'd take it back where I bought it and have it load tested. The fact that the LevelUp will operate off the power converter when plugged into shore power or running off the generator says that the problem isn't in the LevelUp system.

I would disconnect the battery and check the voltage before doing anything. If new, maybe it was not fully charged before you installed it.

Also check to make sure the cables are not reversed.

Why do I always have troubles with all my trailers? I bought a raptor toybox 2 years ago with 6pt. leveling system. worked great till last week. I have new 12vbatt checked connections, control box on lci says low batt. when I start gen or plug it in with cord it works. I think its the 12v system but cant be sure any thoughts out there would be nice

The Level Up system was a $3236 option on ours, and we included it.

fOR 2000$ OPTION don't even think run and get it.I pay 4700$ to install mine.

We have been using our 6-point level up system now full time for well over a year. I would estimate that we have set up at over 30 CG's in that period of time. Never a problem with it.

Another added benefit, that we haven't had to use, would be raising it to change a flat tire.

Lippert's Hydraulic is branded "Level Up". The electric is branded "Ground Control 3.0". For what it's worth, I am very pleased with the way my 4 point plus 2 rear electric stabilizers function on my 32' Wildcat. They go down and come up as expected and desired. The 4 pts are capable of lifting a wheel off the ground if I need to change a flat for instance. Their speed to deploy is fast enough and the coach ends up stable and level. I paid $1495.

Just looked it up on the Sandpiper/Forest River website...it lists the option as a 6 point hydraulic leveling system...that's one heck of a price!!! However, it does not state automatic... But don't think they make one that isn't...

[WeBeFulltimers]

For that price I would want verification that it is the 6 point HYDRAULIC auto leveling system. Seems very cheap to me. Just watched a guy a few days ago trying to get his 6 point electric to work on a new fiver and it was a MESS! He was about to pull his hair out. I am very happy with my true 6 pt hydraulic system but you can bet I didn't get it for $2k.
