2016 Sunstar 31KE DVD Player / levelling jacks
This is probably pretty simple, but our new-to-us (Sept) DVD player has us confused.
We were showing our neighbor the RV today, so pulled it onto a relatively level spot on the driveway, leveled it, then extended the slide.
Up until today, we never tried the DVD player. So, I brought-out a DVD and put it in the dash unit (Pioneer touch-screen). We selected component on the TV source screen and the "don't drive and watch" screen came up. It took me a minute or two to digest what it was really saying. 1: apply parking brake 2: release brake 3: re-apply parking brake, then hit OK.
Since we already had it leveled and the slide extended, we already had the PB on. So I released it, and of course all the jacks retracted, with the slide still out. After I submitted this thread, it hit me: The engine was still running. As expected, once I re-applied the PB, all was good with the DVD on the TV.
So... How do you avoid the jacks retracting during this TV setup? Does it remember that you've done the PB cycle if you haven't moved it, on a day to day basis? Should I pull into a spot, put a DVD in, cycle the PB, THEN level and extend the slide? That seems a bit cart before the horse.... Would the jacks not retract if the engine was off?
