leveling Holiday Rambler Neptune motorhome
With this motorhome you shut down the engine, run out the slides, dump the air with the ignition on, restart the engine to use the leveling system. My question is: you dump the air so the jacks don't ...

"etruitt"......First, you don't have air leveling on your coach. You have a three point jack system.
Monaco recommended that the engine should be running to help supply extra power to the batteries. Often, people dry camp for a few days, run their batteries down and then try and bring in their slides. It causes issues and the slides may not operate correctly.
If you pull into a campground with a full charge, you won't have issues putting out the slides, dumping the air and then leveling. A better way to do it and is easier on your back, is to park the coach in the campsite, connect your power cord, water and sewer while the slides are still in. Then do your slide out and leveling procedure.
Now here is another trick with the Monaco's. You may have noticed that when you get ready to leave and you retract your jacks, the coach falls quickly and sometimes violently. Instead of retracting the jacks, start the engine and let the air bags air up. This will gently lift the coach in the air and the jacks off of the ground. Once the coach is aired up, retract the jacks, you'll never feel them. Turn the coach off, bring in the slides and then disconnect your utilities.
