GlennLever,
While this is a tad off subject, I'm wondering. You state you're following some sort of advice to "always" put the front one down first. My question:
What happens if you're at a campsite that's already high in the front?
You'd be making it even higher if you were to follow your own advice. Just wondering.

When leveling the first thing that I do is put down (home made) jack pads. I screwed together two pads for the rear made up of three 2X12X12 planks, and one pad made of three 2X12X24 planks screwed together.
The next thing that happens is when you turn on the leveling system the air bags on the coach deflate. This lowers the coach very close to the ground.
Now I lower the front jack and pick the front up a little and than use the rear to level side to side as needed.
Never been in a situation where the front ends up any higher that normal ride height.
bullydogs1,
what I did was screw eye hooks into my jack pads, and than use the awning "pull down rod" to position the front pad under the jack.
