Lift front 3 inches more on low battery
Ignoring the fact that I should have turned the batteries to off before parking her, I need another three inches of front lift and the batteries don't seem to be charging enough when hooked up to get those that three inches.
Is there any way to manually crank the front leveling posts so I can attach and get down the road?
And yes, there are lots of Viagra undertones on this post which I too find funny :-)

If you can plug it into your tow vehicle let it charge for awhile.

The only other way would be to run the pump with a cordless drill, but you might have to manually open the valve if you battery/batteries are that low.
Any chance you could borrow a generator from someone to plug into, might give you enough juice to get that 3 inches, but then you might have a problem getting it off the TV.

Hate to say it, but I've been manually cranking the front for years and have yet to see an additional 3 inches.

I have to go pretty high also with my new flex air pin box, buy some plastic leveling blocks from Camping World.

Whats charging the batteries? The truck or the shoreline? Either should be able to lift without having charge on the batteries. Wonder if the batteries are bad.

Hi. The first thing to do is see if your jumper cables in the battery compartment are still ok. I was having the low voltage problem and I found that the ends of the jumper cables were not crimped properly and they came apart.
Both cables, once last year and again this year.
Good luck
