I was not aware of this "safety" feature. Thanks for the update.
As an FYI, we have a 2014 Southwind and I have stopped using the "auto" feature on the Power Gear system, and now only use the "manual" whenever possible.
I was finding the auto system was lifting the entire RV rather high, and the front wheels off the ground too often.
After speaking with a long time RV'er at the Tampa RV Show last January, I started using the manual system, and while it takes a bit more adjustment, the end result is proving to work better for us.
