Also , yes the reset worked but when I turn on the leveler system the front and right lights are blinking....I leveled it in our driveway after the reset and everything was fine but when I retracted the levelers the front and right light still stay on but the message on the screen says jacks retracted ready...wonder why that right light stays on?

Those lights are telling you that the the right front is low. That’s how the system works each time you power it on. The lights determine what part of coach is not level. This way you can manually level it as well. When it=‘s level the LCI light comes on in the center. When the Jack’s are retracted, and the power to the system is on, the lights flash to tell you what is not level.

We had friends with us and I was very embarrassed that something I just spent this much money on did not work when I tried to use the levelers.

I’m glad you got it reset. LCI has an app you can download to your phone. Very helpful. I found out the hard way after sitting in the driveway freaking out when mine wouldn’t work. Had low batteries where it wasn’t plugged in for a week and forgot turn the store/use switch to store. You could also search this site and find the reset info. As well. I’m in the process of looking up that “manual slide retract” instruction.

Thanks Pete! I bought a couple of those little plug in HANDY HEATERS....those things can really heat up a small room....we have one in my son's room and it does just fine....we plan on using those alot too if we are "plugged in".

[inlyzbldcj]

Oh ok so it's not a big deal then? I am taking it in this week to get the leak checked out over the dash so that light is on my list as well.

That blinking means that side is low and needs to be raised. Check out thors website. You should be able to register and download all of the manuals for your coach. Congrats and good luck.

Good luck and be sure to “circle back” ...

Just showing right front is lower than left. Not the jack the coach.

There is a two button reset sequence, I don’t remember right off. It is in the manual. I Get that same error once in awhile. Another thing I found out but haven’t seen it mentioned lately is if you go to the Thor website and enter your vehicle ID you can download all the manuals for your particular coach.

The error message seems to be a pretty common problem, I have to reset mine probably 2 or 3 times a month, depending on how often we move.
Got tired of googling how to reset it, so made a label to remind me. So far, has worked every time.
Hold retract and enter down at the same time.

I found this

If the touch pad is showing "Retract Time out Return Levelers for service" all you need to do is hit, enter and retract at the same time. That will clear that code. I confirmed this with our contacts at Lippert. ETrailer

This shows how to check the system if this is the brand you have

When we bought our Thor and were going through the usual tweaks and fix its to get it right we found that Thor’s technicians were very helpful over the phone. If you call just be sure to have your VIN number handy as they need that to ID your rig.

Jacks should always be fully up, they are hydraulic up and down. I had this problem, 4 new jacks about $3500 later fixed it. Don't get talked into the solenoid and valve replacement, will not fix it. I wasted $500 on that one..

The control panel was beeping because of this. It can be reset as told, hold the bottom 2 left buttons down, maybe have to press the top right one also. If the unit goes without any power it will do the same thing, I have total disconnect on battery so when I start up I always have to reset..

good luck.

Hey gang....getting ready to do our first dry camping trip...I will be playing in a softball tourney in Bullhead City and taking some buddies with me. My question is how do I keep the frig cold to keep our beer cold....we are being allowed to dry camp in the parking lot right at the fields so I need some guidance on what to turn on once we park and I set the levelers...what do I need to do to keep the coach cool and the fridge cold while we are playing ball and then when we get back to the coach to hang out outside and just relax and watch TV and grill out!

[inlyzbldcj]

smart bob. yea I have labels by the bed lowering key to remind me to turn it of and remove the pins to lower and the put the pins back in after raising....also have one by the battery switch inside the door to put on store when not using and to put on use when I get in the coach to go somewhere....

Welcome to Thor world where something either doesn’t work or breaks every time out.
My guess is your house batteries are out of charge.
You must have the use / store switch set to use to charge the batteries and to use the levelers, slide out, etc.
Only use store when not using the m h.
I bought a 2016 Thor 29.3 with 7,200 miles last January in great condition for $56,000.
Even though all appeared in great condition every time we use it something goes wrong or breaks.
To own a Thor m h you have to be a handyman, you’ll learn out of necessity.

I guess you will have to run the generator for a while with the propane on to the fridge should keep it very cool.

Did you check the resettable breaker in the same area as the leveler pump and battery compartment?

Just hold the enter and retract button at the same time to reset it
