If you are getting an "Out of Stroke" error message when trying to level the trailer with a Lippert Ground Control Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling System like part # LC675817 then that means you are most likely trying to extend the jacks further than they are designed to reach. The solution to this problem would be to try and find a more level place to park the trailer but you can also use the Ultra-Fab Leveling Blocks part # UF48-979051 so that the jack legs do not have to extend as far.

The out of stroke error could also be caused by a few other things such as a bent leg but if you are able to extend/retract the jacks manually then that is most likely not the case. I would also reset the system as well by unplugging the touchpad for a few minutes to see if that fixes your issue.
