If you're getting this error then you'd want to use more blocks, like part # A10-0918, so that you won't have to extend the legs of your Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling System w Touchpad and Remote # LC358590 as far. Even if the ground seems level you could easily be off 3" - 4" and if your already close to maxing out the range then that one side could be just extending past the allowed threshold. Throwing a few blocks down or a larger base pad like # SC88VR would easily prevent the issue.

To clear the error on your touchpad you'll need to make sure each leg is extended at least 6" and then press and hold the retract all button. If it's still giving you issues then you can also manually extend/retract the jacks using a socket wrench. I've attached a snippet from the manual below that shows how to manually override the legs.
