Standard routine with us, because we do not like our coach way up in the air.

Your HWH system does have a manual mode.

Sorry, you reasoning does NOT make sense. You state you do NOT like your coach way up in the air. But, doing your procedure is exactly what you do NOT want to happen. By lowering(extending) the jacks with Air bags FULL, will level the coach 4 inches HIGHER off the ground. Once the RV is level, you do NOT have to hit the Air dump button. The Air bags will deflate due to the jacks causing the ride height arms to move and auto deflate the bags. There IS a reason that HWH Auto/Computerizes systems DUMP the Bags FIRST, then level. Doug

Not true,, you can level the coach at any hight you like. run the jacks down until they touch. dump the air, and lower to any hight you like.
Lot less stress on the HWH system when running unloaded than carrying the coach up and down..

What Doug said is true. You're starting your leveling procedures at or near, 4" higher than you need to, due to your bags are still inflated and holding the coach at a higher altitude. If your "Auto Leveling" is raising the coach too much, then simply adjust it. It's about 5 minutes to adjust it. And you state: "Lot less stress on the HWH system..." Who cares about stress on the HWH hydraulic system? It's designed to take any "stress" you throw at it.

Those hydraulic systems are designed to operate at high pressure. The operate at a given pressure for normal ops then, when jacks are topped out or, a slide is extended to the max, they auto-open a relief valve. It's all normal. It's your coach and you can operated as you see fit. But, Doug's right. Your logic for not dumping prior to the Jacks touching the ground, means you start your leveling operations with a coach height, at least 3.5" - 4" higher than needs to be and, you say you don't like it that high, huh?
