Installation
Mid and Rear Jacks
1. When fully retracted, the rear jacks MUST be mounted to achieve a minimum ground clearance equal
to the departure angle (Fig.1) or no less than 8” to the ground to enable maximum level correction.
Any additional ground clearance added to the jack location will decrease the amount of level
correction available to the system.
Resources Required
• Electric or cordless drill or screw gun
• Appropriate sockets
• Appropriate drive bits
• Torque wrench
• Open end wrenches
• Crimping tool
• Phillips head screwdriver
• 3" hole saw
• #12 x 1" hex head self-tapping screws
• #8 x 1" wood screws
• Measuring tape
The use of the Lippert BaseCamp Hydraulic Leveling System to support the trailer for any reason other than
which it is intended is prohibited by the Lippert Warranty. The BaseCamp Hydraulic 5th Wheel Leveling
System is designed as a leveling system only and should not be used for any reason to provide service under
the trailer, e.g. changing tires or servicing the leveling system.
Lippert recommends that a trained professional be employed to change the tires on the trailer. Any
attempts to change tires or perform other service while trailer is supported by the BaseCamp Hydraulic
Leveling System could result in damage to the trailer and/or cause serious injury or death.
2. Using (3) 1/2"-20 x 4" GR8 bolts per jack, bolt the leveling jacks to the mounting brackets (Fig. 2) to
achieve proper ground clearance. A minimum spacing of 3-hole patterns (4.5") is recommended
where possible.
NOTE: Add a 1/2" lock washer to each bolt before inserting through the mounting bracket and jack.
Secure with a 1/2"-20 UNF GR8 serrated flange nut and tighten to 52-64 ft-lbs.
3. Identify power unit mounting location. This will determine the orientation of the hydraulic fittings. If
the power unit is, or will be, mounted on the driver’s side of the front compartment, the driver’s side
front leveling jack will be the first jack in the system.
4. Install hydraulic fittings to leveling jacks.
A. Install the necessary fittings into the Extend and Retract ports at the top of the jack (Fig. 2).
I. If a hose terminates at the jack, then an elbow fitting (Fig. 4) will be needed.
II. If a hose continues beyond the jack, then a straight and tee fitting combination (Fig. 3) will
be needed.
