Hi all,

Just curious, why do you need to do this anyway? I've only heard of this procedure just now. I don't know if my Power Gear leveling system has this either.

Mine wasn't truly level from the factory so I set it myself. Takes 30 seconds. Although I never use the auto level, I almost always level myself. Feels like the auto does a lot more than it needs to. Front, left, rear, front, right, left etc. Always some weird pattern and seems way over complicated.

Effy,
Just wondering what brand of leveling system you have. You say it "does a lot more than it needs to......" And you go on to say it has "weird" patterns. The reason I ask is because, we have, on our '04 Itasca Horizon, 36GD with the C-7 330HP CAT, the HWH 625 Computer Controlled Automatic Leveling System.

Now, after picking a campsite, and, based on my judgment, I decide if I will let the system do it automatically or, I do it manually. If I decide the Automatic side of the system will handle it, I set the brakes, push the "on" button to our HWH system TWICE, and that starts the operation for, dropping the bags and, providing leveling.

Now, as for it's "pattern" the detector (as you most likely know) detects side to side and, front to back. It will, ALWAYS, level side to side first. It does this of course, with the two jacks on the side needing to raise. Then, it takes care of the front to back leveling. It will do this with one jack, until it hits the ground and, provides back pressure, then both end jacks will lift until the sensor is satisfied.

Now, there is still one remaining jack not extended. The Coach, at this time, is level, even though there's only three jacks in use. But, it will at this time, extend that fourth jack. It extends to the point that it hits the ground and, it will raise the coach approximately 3/4" to 1" with that one jack and stop. The system then shuts down completely.

Now, we've owned this coach now for approaching 4 years. It has worked this way, in the Automatic sequence, each and every time. It always levels the side first, then an end, and finally, the last one for "Stabilization". So, this is why I asked why you think yours maybe does more than you think it needs to. Maybe it does more than it needs to. I certainly would not know how to correct that.
