auto leveling Jacks

We have a 2013 Itasca Sunova class A. We bring the jacks up preparing to leave the next morning. We start to leave and the monitor indicates jacks are down. Is this normal?

Depending on the brand , as little a 1/2 inch away from fully retracted can put the light on.
Did the light go out when you hit the retract button again?

I had this happen also - even when the MH had been stored and jacks had been up for some length of time. Winnebago originally told me this was normal and to just hit the retract button and the light would go off. That has worked for a couple of years. However, I recently found some other posts in this forum that indicated this could be low fluid. So I had it checked and the fluid was a bit low.

Remember to check the fluid the coach needs to be some what level and the jacks have to be retracted. If you need fluid you can use ATF according to the manual. I would verify that be reading your manual first though.

If a jack re-tracks slower than normal, could the hose be plugged?

Lippert system uses no return springs. Hydraulic pressure returns and holds jacks in retracted position.
