Suspension · at 5,000 miles · reported Jul 30, 2018
Our lippert (Lci) level up front leveling legs are leaking down 1" every two days. They have also started creeping down as we travel down the road (In motion) which is a safety hazard. They have also dropped about half way down while the rv was stationary and had one of us been under the front we would have been injured or killed. There are many drv owners reporting the same issue with their units on the drv forum. Seems lippert (Lci) is aware of the issue but refuses to make repairs.
