Newbie - Leveling with jacks and airbags

Question

I have under contract an '07 American Tradition DP. I haven't got the manuals yet and don't understand how the leveling is accomplished. The coach has a leveling panel next to the drivers seat, left side, that will automatically level the coach when parked at a camp site.
How is this accomplished? Do the hydraulic jacks come down and level the coach or are the airbags somehow involved?

Someone will come along and give you a detailed answer. From what I think I know airbags=driving, jacks=parked. Most setups have an automatic or manual level option for the jacks.

When I had my gas Class A you turn the leveling on then hit auto, then I would go out and do my hookups because if anything is moving inside is messes up the level. With Diesel I don't know about airbags

Parking brake on, dump air bags, auto level then deploy slides.

I just bought one too and I am wondering how they work.  Seller tells me you choose the air leveling or the jacks leveling.  I will know by Tuesday.

I have no idea what a "American Tradition DP" is but I assume it's a Class A motorhome, in which case you'd likely get more responses to your query in the Class A Motorhome forum from others who own this type of RV.
