my auto leveling uses electric motors. No issue with that.

Wrong type of shop. My trailer is at Denver Spring and Suspension getting an alignment, inspection and hopefully some reinforcement of the spring hangers.

Sorry what I meant was is there any substitute for the electric motors that Lippert uses in their auto leveling system? This probably isn't the place for that but thought I'd ask since Lippert problems came up.

Your new Avenue has electric levelers? Our Paradigm on order will have hydraulic.

Have you posted the issue on the Alliance RV group on Facebook? It seems that the factory folks keep a pretty close eye on any issues discussed there and jump in fairly quickly to help resolve it. Or you can call the factory folks directly to seek help, they look to be very responsive and helpful.
What sort of leveler issues are you seeing?

Yep they're electric motors at each jack wired back to a 30a fuse on a control board for each jack. I'll see if I can get something posted in the Facebook group and get more info.

Problem is the front right jack died. There were no issues during PDI or our walkthrough. The dealership even let me get weighed with it before closing and the guy towing didn't have any issues hitching/unhitching then either. They already replaced it and I'm picking it back up in a few hours. Trying to write it off as dumb luck but it's a little concerning regardless.

Hoping for dumb luck also.
Did they say it was the motor or in the control circuit?

The said motor which they replaced yesterday. I’m picking it up now to drop off at storage, wrap up my afternoon, then taking it on a weekend trip so the system will get exercised a few times over the weekend.

The two-tone paint on the truck sure does look good with that trailer paint scheme.

Thanks. That was totally unintentional but it works out pretty well.
