Fine tune leveling after slides are out?
I always level before extending slides (two slides on driver side). Then when the slides are out the coach is not level, low on driver side and front left corner. What's the opinion about fine tuning...

To me, it seems sort of strange that you would have to relevel after putting out the slides. Our MH manual says to level first, then deploy slides. Our MH has two slides in the front (one on each side) that are close in size and weight, and a small one in the rear so the weight is fairly well balanced. If the OP's MH is level to begin with, maybe having both slides on one side is enough to tilt it some after opening them. Either that or the automatic leveling device needs to be recalibrated because it's not getting the MH level to begin with? And, while both slides on one side could tilt it, why would deploying the slides make the front left dip? No additonal weight has been shifted to the front.
I see no reason not to make slight adjustments if needed, but I'm not certain the automatic leveling system is calibrated correctly to start with.

Original poster here... The motorhome IS level before slides go out. Front slide is the big one, longer and extends out farther than the bedroom slide. I'm guessing the heavier slide near the front of the coach is causing some downward movement in the suspension. Now that I'm getting used to this new coach, I'll compensate a little with the leveling and then it should be right when the the slides are out.
Thanks to all for advice and opinions.
