Jim, so you're manually dumping the air (by use of the brake) when you park for the night? Is there any disadvantage to leaving it in auto and then lowering the jacks?
We have 4 jacks, one in each corner. I had it parked at the house for a week and noticed that it became un-level during that time. When I started it up today to take off, I noticed it was un-level (as soon as I turned ON the panel for the jacks but before I retracted them). If parked somewhere for several days, is it necessary to re-level every few days, or does this indicate a problem?
When do you guys turn on your engine brake? Should I use it from the time I exit the interstate? Will that keep me from dumping so much air driving through town and when backing into my driveway? My driveway isn't steep but I'm concerned I may have to re-grade it because of all the dragging.
Thanks again for all the great responses!
