Why has it become out of level? Have the jacks sunk further into the ground?

Depends. The auto levelers on some RV's I've had operated like a Rube Goldberg machine and did some pretty funky stuff and often more than it really needed to. If wasn't already leveled to begin with not much of an issue, but since it was already leveled once doing it again with the slides out could extend jacks further than they need to be or some frame flexing etc. With the slides out that could be a problem. Manually bumping it a bit an inch or 2 on one side or on end is less dramatic than going through the whole auto level cycle.

I can tell when our trailer is out of level just by walking back to front. I'll just go to the panel and turn the system on and it will say "out of level". I hit auto level it does its thing and all is well and level. I try to not overthink things gets you into more trouble than out.

"Manually leveling does NOT create binding of any type." And you know this how? Or just what you think? If you raise just the right rear side, which would be the middle and rear levelers, and not the front, what happens to the right front side? Won't it no longer be supported as much by the leveler at that corner?

I believe the hydraulic cylinders are rated at 8-10,000 lbs. EACH. So it would seem pretty unlikely you'll overload 50-60,000 lbs. worth of hydraulic cylinders. And can't see how manual level would be any different, the pressure is always the same.

I can't personally say whether it will recycle when AutoLevel, but have heard that it doesn't. But cannot say for sure, I've not done it when level so can't say.

I would pull the slides in and retract the jacks and ensure the ground below the jacks is stable. Then put boards (or plastic pads) under the jacks to make sure the trailer is as stable as possible.

I know this because I have extensively had conversations with Melvin at Lippert on how the system works. The fronts adjust to what you do at the rear on each side. Have someone hit extend off door side rear you will see the off door front extend. The side levelers are tied together and balance them selves also.

The front drops when you hit auto level, you can't stop it. I guess all I can say that is how mine has worked in the past as I am not using auto again. So if you are slightly out of level after setting for a while go to manual mode and adjust to level it's that simple.
