This is a 2015 Thor Windsport and we are stuck in a camp ground 100 miles from any dealer. We are hooked up to power and a batteries are fully charged. We will call to the nearest city and see if a mechanic will come out to get these jacks up. Seems our trip is a lost cause. Does anyone have any ideas?? We have tried nearly everything we can think of.

Periodically I get the low voltage error on the leveling jack control panel. What I do in that case is with the coach running I turn off the leveling jack control panel and after a minute or two turn it back on. The error generally clears itself and the jacks will function.
As a note, the pattern I observed is the error appears when I turn the jack control panel power on within a minute or two of starting the vehicle.
Also, if the jacks are Lippert, you can try calling their customer support (574-534-0001)
This is an extract from the Lippert manual
"
Low Voltage Signal
If LOW VOLTAGE light is on solid, it is an indication of a charging system problem. Turn ignition OFF and then back ON to reset system. If LOW VOLTAGE light persists, test battery under load at battery and at the motor solenoid on the pump unit. Check all power and ground connections at the battery, alternator and chassis."
