On our rig, while aired up slides out first then level. On leaving air up bags, slides in then jacks up.
That must be something new for Newmar, they were always level first then slides.
I'm thinking maybe the full wall slide has changed things from the old days.
My 2015 Dutch Star instructions says to leave aired up, don't level first, deploy slides. Same as Ro"n"Joe. I believe this instruction is there to protect the full wall slide. Yes it's backward to some but that's why you follow mfg's instructions. I'm 8 years in following Newmars instructions & no issues.
I'm guessing you have the newer "Star Chassis". I was told at factory pickup that the slideouts are setup to work with airbags inflated. Nothing was mentioned about protecting the full wall slide.
