You should have no lights on the Lippert control panel when traveling down the road; it is supposed to be off.
I don't recall who I spoke with at Lippert, one of their techs. As per the instructions on how to use the levelers, I always have the engine running when operating the jacks but regardless, low voltage indicator present which will not allow auto mode. The only way around this for me is to either plug the coach into shore power or run the gen while the engine is running. All the connections have been verified secure, house and coach batteries test good. The leveler system is off while driving.
