Hi, John with etrailer. Listen, if you're ready to level your Cherokee with just a push of a button, well, then check out Lippert's Ground Control 3.0 sixjack system on our 2020 Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pack. Even on a largermodel Toy Hauler like this one, coming in at 42 feet, Lippert has 'em covered with a sixpoint system. Don't have a 42 footer You got one smaller Lippert still has you covered with a fourpoint system. All right, so you've gotten to the campground, you've chopped your tires. The next step that you normally do is you go around from side to side and you adjust and manually adjust your jacks, but no longer.
This system, with one push of a button, is gonna get you your camper grounded and leveled. First step, you're gonna come to the front for the landing gear and you're gonna extend your legs out. General rule of thumb is three to five inches off the ground. Do this on both sides. With your landing gear down, you'll wanna pull the pin on your tow vehicle and then come to your inner panel here, and you're gonna see the LCD control panel.
You'll just hit power and you'll hit FRONT to extend the front jacks. Now, run the jacks down, and when you have a clear view of your tow vehicle, you'll just run them down until you get the weight off so that you can pull forward and clear the camper. With just the push of a button, it's going to begin to extend or retract the front landing gear, followed by the rear jacks, and finally, the middle stabilizers. Now, on a sixjack system such as this, it uses the front landing gear and the rear jack to do all of the leveling, front and rear, side to side. The middle jacks are simply just stabilizers.
And in less than five minutes at the campsite, you've set up and leveled your camper. Now, the ground control 3.0 is a system that we do like here, and a lot of people like it. It is all electric. So one thing to keep in mind that people report some of the problems that they have, and it's just minor things, almost always come back to a poorperforming 12volt electrical system. So if you do get this system, you definitely wanna make sure that you have strong battery or batteries.
Now, as far as installation goes, we really do our best here to make sure that the products like this ground control system is something that you are gonna be happy with and something that you can install. We are in constant communication with Lippert to make sure that these products are performing and installing like they're supposed to. Now, we go through our installation here pretty methodically and we hope it's not gonna be too longwinded, but there's some pointers that you're gonna need to know with your own camper when installing this, and we try to review that just as best as we can. So if you're interested in this system, you wanna see it work, you wanna see how it installs, stick around and we'll show you. Now, before we begin our installation of the leveling system, there's a few things that we need to know. One is that we're gonna be installing six jacks total on this camper. It's three per side, right It's three on the passenger side, three on the driver's side. And location is very, very important when installing the system. It needs to be able to work as functioned. You don't want anything too low that's gonna get knocked off on a speed bump or anything else like that. So what we're gonna be looking at and determining today is our departure angle and our approach angle. Now, the departure angle, as you can see, we ran a wire from the back of the bumper, up high on the frame, down to the middle of our back tire here. This gives us our departure angle. And why is that important Well, when we're setting up our jacks, in the directions, you're gonna see that we have some guidelines, and now, these are just guidelines. If you have obstacles in the way, then you need to be able to move a half inch or an inch one way or the other, that's fine. So in our guidelines, they give us 12 inches from the back of the spring hanger here to about the center of our bracket. Now, like I said, these are guidelines. You want 'em to be the same on both sides. You could run into issues with plumbing underneath your camper or drains or everything else. But what we're gonna be looking for when we mount this up is about a mini
