    06 Discovery and rear jacks retract completely, but fronts stop with about 2 inches of shaft showing.  Any remedies out there?? TIA

    Does the control still indicate jacks down?

    If yes, check for physical obstruction, like gravel on the pad.

    If no, it could be the fluid is overfull and therefore the sensor is closing the dump valve.

    I am having the same problem in my 2006 pace arrow 36-d. The Atwood control on the dash to the left of the steering wheel beeps and beeps. Then I have to press the ON button to get it to stop. Once driving I have to do the same thing, but as soon as I start to brake the lights and beeps start. 


    How do you know if the fluid is overfull like you mentioned? Or am I having a different problem? 

    Thank you,

    Thank you for your responses!  Yes, a little turkey baster extraction of about a 1/2 cup flluid resolved the issue.  This forum has been so valuable for us!  Safe travel all.  Allen Green
