Question:

If I use the auto level when setting up, When I get ready to leave, does auto level pick the rear jacks up?

Since you mentioned the auto leveling function, it sounds like you are referring to the Electric Ground Control TT Automatic 5-Point Travel Trailer Leveling System # LC672136. When you are ready to leave and reconnect to your tow vehicle you want to follow the steps below. Refer to step 3 to see where the rear leveling jacks will retract followed by the extension of the tongue jack.

1. Press the “ON/OFF” button to turn panel on
2. Press the “UP ARROW” button on the touch pad until “AUTO HITCH HGT, ENTER TO BEGIN” is
displayed on the LCD. Press the “ENTER” button.
3. The rear leveling jacks will retract, followed by the tongue jack extending to the ground, then followed
by the front leveling jacks retracting. The tongue jack will then adjust the height of the front of the
trailer coupler to the point at which the “AUTO LEVEL” button was most recently pressed.
4. Press the “ON/OFF” button to turn system off.
5. Back the tow vehicle into position to align the tow vehicle hitch and trailer coupler with each other.
6. Press and hold “RET” on the tongue jack to retract the tongue jack until the coupler sets into
position on top of the tow vehicle hitch.
7. Latch the tow vehicle hitch and connect any wires, chains or sway control that may be equipped
between the tow vehicle and trailer.
8. Press the “RET” button twice and then press and hold the “RET” button for 3-5 seconds to
engage the tongue jack’s auto retract feature.
