When parked in campground, is it correct to dump your air. Thanks Jim

I never understood why some manufacturers have you put slides out before leveling. If the coach has a high or low corner, the body xould twist enough to cause the slide to bind, when extended. I have always leveled first, and then extend slides. My leveling system uses 4 hydraulic jacks. Maybe those with only 3, are different?
I completely agree with Bill. I worked with big 200 ton cranes and you always set the out riggers first before you try to do anything. You have to set the platform first before you pull out the slides. The levelers on your coach are just like out riggers on cranes.
As to dumping the air on your coach? It all depends how long I am going to stay. If I am going to leave the following day, I do not dump the air, but if I am staying for an extending time, I will dump the air, lower the levelers and then pull out the slides. That gives you a solid platform and level.
