Introduction
The Basecamp hydraulic leveling system was designed for use only on a Sprinter chassis. The four-point,
four-valve hydraulic leveling system is a hydraulic system which includes four points of contact utilizing four
jacks and a four-valve hydraulic system. A 12V DC electric motor drives a hydraulic pump that moves fluid
through a system of hoses, fittings and jacks to level and stabilize the coach. Mechanical portions of the
hydraulic leveling system are replaceable. Contact Lippert to obtain replacement parts.

Rev: 10.27.22 Page 4 CCD-0005287
Prior to Operation
The leveling system shall only be operated under the following conditions:
1. The coach is parked on a reasonably level surface, engine running.
2. The coach “parking brake” is engaged.
3. The coach transmission should be in the park position.
4. Be sure to keep hands and other body parts clear of fluid leaks. Oil leaks in the Lippert Leveling System
may be under high pressure and can cause serious skin penetrating injuries.
5. Never lift the coach completely off the ground. Lifting the coach so the wheels are not touching
ground will create an unstable and unsafe condition.
Lifting all wheels off the ground may result in serious personal injury or death.
LED Touchpad Controller Operation
NOTE: The LED Touchpad Controller is only ON while the coach ignition is ON, no operation of leveling will
be allowed without ignition source. Parking Brake MUST be engaged for the system to operate.

9. "Retract Error" screen (Fig. 9) will appear if with ignition on and touchpad on or in “sleep” mode
(display off, power to control still on). If the control receives signal from the pressure switch (meaning
the internal pressure of the hydraulic system has dropped below 2,150 psi, connection lost from
pressure switch to control) The control enters retract all mode. If pressure switch does not open
back up after 10 seconds, the audible alarm can be prompted (2 seconds on, two seconds off, 70-85
decibels), jacks will stop retracting and this screen to be displayed. Alarm to run until coach ignition is
off or pressure switch opens up indicating that optimal pressure is reached. Home (Fig. 9A) or Menu
(Fig. 9B) icons can be presses to silence the alarm. DO NOT ignore this alarm. There may be a jack
down or component failure, possibly making it dangerous to drive. Operator can use the home or
menu icon and reach “retract jacks” function.

Troubleshooting
Manual Override - Jacks
In the event that the jacks will not extend or retract, the valves can be manually overridden by using a ⁄”
or ⁄" hex wrench to turn the manual override clockwise on the valve (Fig. 11). The leveling jacks can then
be extended or retracted. Remember to turn the manual override completely counterclockwise (Fig. 12)
until it will no longer turn to close the valve after the jacks have been completely extended or retracted.
Clockwise for manual override Counter-clockwise for normal operation
Fig. 11 Fig. 12
Manual Override - Power System
The Lippert Electronic Leveling System can be run with auxiliary power devices including electric drills,
ratchet wrenches or cordless screwdrivers. In the event of electrical or system failure, this manual method of
extending and retracting the jacks can be used. A standard handheld drill is all that is required.
1. Remove plastic cap (Fig. 13A).
2. Disconnect power cables on the motor.
3. Using a ½” socket, insert into auxiliary drive device, i.e. cordless or power drill. Insert socket onto
coupler found under plastic cap (Fig. 14A).
4. Run drill in reverse or counterclockwise to retract jacks.

Audible Alarm Modes
• Parking brake alarm, enabled from software while ignition is on, display is in sleep mode or on, related to
loss of signal from parking brake (user dis-engages parking brake) while pressure switch signal is received
(jacks are down). Alarm to sound two seconds ON, two seconds OFF, repeat until ignition off or signal is
received from parking brake or signal is lost from pressure switch (indicating jacks retracted) for software to
shut off alarm.
• Leveling complete chime, small collection of chimes or light beeps to indicate to user that leveling has
successfully completed, can be tied to “Leveling Success!” screen. Only few seconds long.
Fluid Recommendation
Type “A” Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is utilized and will work. ATF with Dexron III® or Mercon 5® or a
blend of both is recommended by Lippert.
In colder temperatures (less than 10° F) the jacks may extend and retract slowly due to the fluid’s molecular
nature. For cold weather operation, fluid specially formulated for low temperatures may be desirable.
For a list of approved fluid specifications, see TI-188.
Preventative Maintenance Procedures
1. Change fluid in RESERVOIR ONLY when contaminated.
A. Check fluid only when jacks are fully retracted.
B. Always fill the reservoir with the jacks in the fully retracted position. Filling reservoir when jacks
are extended will cause reservoir to overflow into its compartment when jacks are retracted.
C. When checking fluid level, fluid should be within ¼” of fill spout lip.
2. Check the fluid level every month.
3. Inspect and clean all Pump electrical connections every 12 months. If corrosion is evident, spray coach
with WD-40 or equivalent.
4. Remove dirt and road debris from jacks as needed.
5. If jacks are down for extended periods, it is recommended to spray exposed leveling jack rods with a
silicone lubricant every three months for protection. If your coach is located in a salty environment, it
is recommended to spray the rods every 4 to 6 weeks.

Level Zero Point Calibration
The Zero Point Calibration has been set by the RV manufacturer and verified by the RV dealer. If a new zero
point is desired, proceed with this section. The “Zero Point” is the programmed point that the trailer will
return to each time the Auto Level feature is used. The “Zero Point” must be programmed prior to using the
Auto Level feature to ensure the proper operation of the system. This mode is enabled by performing the
following sequence:
NOTE: Parking brake MUST be ON in order to operate the leveling system.
NOTE: The LED touchpad controller is only ON while the coach ignition is ON, no operation of leveling is
allowed without the ignition source. Once power is on, the LED touchpad controller will illuminate.
1. Go to the Menu button (Fig. 15A) and select the Calibration button (Fig. 15B).
2. Select the arrow on the touchpad that is the direction of the display of the touchscreen is facing
related to the coach (Fig. 16).

Rev: 10.27.22 Page 11 CCD-0005287
3. Follow the directions on the next screen (Fig. 17) to calibrate the LED touchpad controller. Place a level
on the floor of the coach to ensure a level reference point in the coach. Press “LEVEL VEHICLE”
on the touchpad.
Fig. 17
4. The next screen that follows (Fig. 18) shows four extend buttons that activates each pair of valves,
directional control valve and solenoid. The "CONFIRM LEVEL" button is a latching button that zeros
out the control accelerometer and stores that exact position as level. After the initial calibration, when
the user presses “AUTO LEVEL”, the control recognizes that position as level and will bring the coach
to that position.
5. Level the coach in the manual "CALIBRATION" mode by using a carpenter’s level on the floor.
Level front to rear and then left to right.
A. Push the "EXTEND FRONT" (Fig. 18A) button until jacks contact the ground and lift the front
of the coach 1-2 inches.

Rev: 10.27.22 Page 12 CCD-0005287
A. Push "EXTEND REAR" (Fig. 18D) button until jacks contact the ground and lift rear of coach.
Continue to use EXTEND REAR and EXTEND FRONT buttons until the carpenter's level bubble is
centered.
B. Push "EXTEND DRIV SIDE" (Fig. 18B) and "EXTEND PASS SIDE" (Fig. 18C) buttons until level
bubble is centered.
NOTE: Wait 10 seconds after operating jacks to ensure vehicle is completely still before pressing CONFIRM
LEVEL.
6. With the coach leveled, press “CONFIRM LEVEL” (Fig. 18E)
7. The touch pad is now in zero mode. If the coach has come out of it’s level condition, it can be reset
into level condition by following the procedure outlined in step 3.
NOTE: During the “auto level” process, if too much time has passed (180 seconds) or if control was calling
to extend pair of jacks but saw zero movement (angle change) meaning the cylinders have reached
full stroke, or coach is parked on too great of an incline (typically over 6 degrees) and cannot
complete level process. A "LEVELING ERROR" screen (Fig. 19) will appear. Press Home (Fig. 19A) or
Menu (Fig. 19B) icons to get out of this page.
