Leveler

[greg&bev]

We just took our 3rd trip in our 2022 kw29, when we set up I could not level, the l I panel kept showing low voltage. Everything seemed to check out ok, so I’m looking for help as to where to start.

I had a Big Foot leveling system installed... one thing they were adamant about was you MUST have fully charged - or near full - batteries to operate the system.

I would start by using a voltmeter to check actual battery voltage ON THE BATTERY TERMINALS/POSTS. Don't rely on the red LEDs on the status panel. If the house battery is low, run your generator for a while... it should dump 14+ volts into the house batteries. Again, use your voltmeter to check.

I ran the generator and battery’s both tested at 13.7

On the Challenger I would get the low voltage quite often. I would start and run the engine while leveling.

I have yet to get a low voltage error on the current rig with EQ Smart Level.

I have to have the motor on to level

My Bigfoot levelers will operate on battery alone, but it's clearly a near thing. I usually try to do it on shore power or with the generator running if I'm not sitting in bright sunlight (solar).

Low voltage error has been my constant problem. One thing that "tricks" me is that the low voltage often leads to tripping the breaker as the amps surge under low voltage conditions. I'll have the generator going and it still says low voltage and then the light bulb turns on - oh yeah, it blew the breaker. So you should check that if you haven't.

(On mine, pushing the up arrow repeatedly eventually shows battery voltage on the control panel. That is your coach battery voltage and what the control logic is looking at.)

This is what I have done, recommended by Thor 6 years ago for our unit: Level with engine running. If low voltage message, press enter to acknowledge the low voltage and level either auto or manual mode. Hope this works for you.

Our Manual for 2019 also says to level or when bringing slide out to have engine running. The Panel says it is required when leveling with big label.



Never thought about running the genny or using shore power? Normally if leveling; I don't have shore power set up anyway.

I guess if engine is running and I get a low voltage condition, I would check alternator output. Note: I have never seen that led light up except when it starts up to verify all is working.

Think I found my low voltage issue, 15 amp in line fuse was corroded and broken,replaced and low voltage light went off🤞

I chased this issue two weeks ago. Low voltage even after being plugged into the house. Volts would come up on Genny so all was not lost. I thought the BIM was miss-wiried, but found out I have a B.I.R.D. It turns out the cable on the left battery of my SV34/F600 was not crimped well enough. Put a volt meter on the battery posts and then ground to positive cables and make sure they are the same even if they look clean/good. I put on a new terminal and made sure all connections were clean and now we're good. Super frustrating after driving three hours, getting to the camp site and spending an hour getting the jacks down and slide out.

Same as many posts here. I get the low voltage message when my coach batteries are low charge.

[Terry Freed]

I received the low voltage notice almost every time I tried to level the motorhome. I always had the engine running while leveling. The only thing that worked was if I was hooked up to shore power.

The in line 15 amp fuse back by the hydraulic lines was the problem all worked great this trip,I would recommend checking that if low voltage light comes on.
