the next time this happens, try a few things:

- use MANUAL mode, which bypasses the 'low voltage' light and allows you to level the coach on your own, simply pressing the buttons that correlate with the lighted 'arrows' showing you which legs need to bring the coach up.

- use the AUX, or EMERGENCY START, switch, which will tie the two battery banks, Chassis and House, together, possibly giving the system the voltage it 'needs' if you want to use the 'automatic' Leveling button.


the Low Voltage alert is a condition of the HOUSE battery bank, which is what operates the hydraulic leveling system. It is simply a way for the manufacturer to tell the owner that the House batteries might not be high enough to properly allow the system to go thru it's full paces to get the coach level. I believe they initially set this 'level' too high, which is why you may see this 'low voltage' warning more often than is really needed.

Running the generator, or being plugged into shore power, simply gives the House batteries a 'boost' of charge voltage while you are operating the leveling system, but otherwise it's not necessary in the majority of cases. I think you'll find that while it may show the alert, you'll still always be able to perform the leveling in MANUAL mode without any issue, and can usually do it BETTER than the Automatic system does.
